Before knowing Perdition, my plan was to write a pop3 proxy (have done that in the past) that monitors if an account has been transferred or not and points to the right server (new/old). What I wish that Perdition would do with two mailboxes was to simulated them as one. So, that if there are 4 messages in server A and 10 in server B, the client would see them as one server with 14 messages. Probably there will be some uid issues to resolve. I was hoping that this would be what that option do. I really don't see a point in using a round robin server select for imap/pop3 in real world. - Raul ______________________________________________ Perdition-users mailing list [email protected] http://lists.vergenet.net/listinfo/perdition-users
