When run as part of the uw imap server, each pop connection is a separate process - the "server" in this case is inetd/xinetd, which in turns forks off the individual server tasks. > The reason I ask is that I am running into a situation where a virus checker > seems to be preventing outlook express from downloading messages but doing > so very ungracefully (hanging at partial download with no explanation).
