Quick comment. POP does not *have* to download the messages locally *only*. It can also leave the messages on the server, behaving much like IMAP. Of course, POP by default will not leave the message on the server and it much more lightweight (less features) than IMAP. It all depends on what you and your app need. -- DB_DataObject_FormBuilder - The database at your fingertips http://pear.php.net/package/DB_DataObject_FormBuilder paperCrane --Justin Patrin-- -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
