Hi Ian, > What I don't understand is that you seem to think that there's a > possibility that email could be stored in some place that it can't be > transported to. Where would that be? Please read the mails before this one. This discussion is about what Outlook needs in order to process special messages. When new mail is received and before the messages gets injected into the message store it need to be processed. That is why you get a clear distinction between transport and storage. Where in IMAP the message is injected directly into the storage.
