I've been using sendmail with pop3 for over 10 years. All of the instructions I've read seem to imply that I have to use maildir. Is my understanding correct? If not, can you point me to documantation that explains why I might certain settings over others vs "just do this and never mind what they do... It will work". I prefer to understand what I'm setting up. >> >> Thanks in advance >> >> _______________________________________________ >> Imap-use mailing list >> [email protected] >> http://mailman2.u.washington.edu/mailman/listinfo/imap-use >> > > You don't necessarily need to use maildir.
