"Mea culpa", then. I did reply without noticing you said it was the solution to _his_ problem, and just took it as a general recomendation. My bad on that one. In any case, one of the things we (I?) noticed on this whole issue is that it escalated to much more than the original's poster questions. Lots of people suggested he needs more HD space, more e-mail (me included) and such. At least to me it proves that e-mail servers are giving people more headaches than they are supposed to. Of course we all face the standard problems regarding spam and virus, but the problems seem to be more pervasive than that. I, for one, am surprised. Then again, maybe I'm just naive. On the other hand, this is first time I see a thread such as this where no religious wars started. Usually people will defend their MTA of choice, and not even consider the others. Everyone here has an MTA of choice, of course, but everyone also pointed to the advantages of the other MTAs. I think the greater proof that this issue is causing all of us headache is that we have diverted a lot from the original topic, and still people are not complaining. Which, I hope, shows that this whole issue is interesting to at least a number of subscribers. I know I am. I don't like IMAP. Never did. Maybe this is because of the number of bugs we had in the past for all imap implementations. Maybe because of the wasted disk space on workstations. I know the backup issue is a big problem for me, and users complaining their quota is never enough really gets on my nerves. So I try to avoid imap as often as I can for everything except webmail.
