IMHO I'd leave IMAP alone unless you really, really want IMAP. NNTP might be a better option as the IMAP code does not persist anything to a permanent store so it's useless for most people at the moment. However if you just want the protocol stack then use the IMAP2 proposal. > Your feedback would be appreciated. > > -Mike > > > --------------------------------------------------------------------- > To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
