Why didn't you try Dovecot? I used to use UW IMAP and found it so slow that if my users had more than 20-30 folders, UW would take forever. With dovecot's builtin indexing, it is fast even for users with hundreds of folders. I know, that doesn't solve your problem, but at the outset, if you pick a more capable IMAP server, I think you'll find the later problems easier to tackle. My 2 cents; worth what you just paid me for it :-) HTH, Karl > > Yet, it doesn't work.
