Re: saving email in imap inbox

Mark,

Could you elaborate on setting up a "mail administrator userid". I have 
seen references to this capability but it isn't clear to how to 
configure it. We set restrictBox = -1 when we build our server so I 
don't know if that would limit the ability to support a "mail 
administrator userid"

Thanks,
Bob
