Mail store = structure for mboxes/maildirs. indeed, reader protocol servers like imap, pop3, are a seperate category from the traditional MTA, MDA, MUA triad. in a sense, they are a MUA proxy or service, but they aren't the MUA, thats the client application (Thunderbird, etc). In spite of some claims to the contrary[1], they aren't the MDA, thats something like procmail which the MTA uses to deliver the mail to a mailbox. [1] first google hit on related keywords claimed imap/pop were part of the MDA. -- john r pierce N 37, W 122 santa cruz ca mid-left coast
