Both are features which Exim offers. IMAP doesn't just retrieve messages, it can also be used to store messages. There are setups out there when outgoing mail is actually placed in an outgoing folder using IMAP, and then the server either gets notified or polls the folder and sends the message out. Likewise, I can copy messages from one IMAP server (or some other mail store) to another and so forth. Additionally, Sieve can have support for letting the MUA directly edit and update the filters with graphical whatsits so that users don't have to be computer science majors just to filter messages. (As a side note, I'm a Dovecot supporter, even though it does miss my favorite features - Cyrus is just pure hell to get working properly.) > > -- > dwmw2 > -- Sean Middleditch <elanthis@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>
