Thanks for the hint. I would much prefer to use a server that is secure. Even as we speak, I am connected to my current IMAP from work. I'd rather not be restricted to reading my private mail from home. On the other hand, I like the fact that the UW IMAP uses the traditional mailbox format. Cyrus doesn't do that, does it? Is there a way to access cyrus' mail database with a POP server?
