No. IMAP is a protocol for accessing mail folders on a remote machine. Exim is just a Mail Transfer Agent(MTA) that delivers the mail to the folders. You need a IMAP server program like the one in the Debian imap package to access those folders from a remote machine. For local reading you don't need an IMAP server, although you could access via IMAP if you really wanted to. -- Brian --------------------------------------------------------------------- Mechanical Engineering [EMAIL PROTECTED] Purdue University http://www.ecn.purdue.edu/~servis ---------------------------------------------------------------------
