Let's take chat messages as an example. They are fast. much faster than email, aren't they? Why? Isn't it a similar concept: text (transmitted as bytes) flowing from one browser to another - via an intermediate server? Web servers are getting more efficient, databases are getting more efficient. Why not bring email servers up to speed? _______________________________________________ Imap-protocol mailing list [email protected] http://mailman13.u.washington.edu/mailman/listinfo/imap-protocol
