Only one possible issue - outlook might use own subscription registry and folders are not subscribed on IMAP server. Then user will have to subscribe those folders in SquirrelMail folder management page. SquirrelMail has plugins that can subscribe folders automatically, but these plugins don't have configuration options to disable subscription of folders used by Exchange for calendaring. If outlook uses IMAP, but stores some emails in local folders, these emails won't be available to SquirrelMail. If Santa gives you candies and Grinch takes them away, will you ask Santa to give candies back? Nope. Ask Grinch or Microsoft or Outlook. There is nothing that SquirrelMail can do to emails stored locally on user's machine. Please keep conversation on mailing list and don't reply with private SquirrelMail questions to my email address. -- Tomas ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by DB2 Express Download DB2 Express C - the FREE version of DB2 express and take control of your XML.
