Hey thanks for all your help. I have a much better understanding of the
setup and the difference between IMAP and POP3.
Using Thunderbird for IMAP was a snap and I can now view all folders on
the server in my client including the SPAM folder.
Just remember that IMAP doesn't work the same with Outlook; IMAP is
annoying in Outlook IMHO.
I'll 2nd that opinion. Outlook'07 is a bit better then '03, but the way
it handles deleted messages is hokey. I think MS may have done this
purposefully to encourage people away from IMAP and toward Exchange.
Seriously.
I do have users who've adjusted ok to Outlook with IMAP though.
Especially when they can use their blackberries with it. :)
IMAP is also a little more resource intensive. When you're dealing with
<50 users it does not matter at all, but if you go beyond that you'll at
least need to brush through the IMAP config file on the server.
I wonder how much dovecot has done to remove this constraint. I don't
have any servers with that many users (yet).
Hey Peter, how's dovecot doing for you? How many users?
I personally only use pop3 for accounts where I do not care if the
messages are synced or not (my personal email account, my junk one,
etc.). For everything else, I run IMAP so it will be the same on my
desktop or my laptop. Easier that way.
Personally, I don't use pop3 any more at all. :)
