      If you mean whether qmail is used for both POP3 and IMAP, AFAIK it is.

      Seems that VPOPMail relies on a shell line to change the  
password, but then spaces at the start of the password are read as  
separation spaces before the password argument.  That's why POP3 fails  
with passwords starting with spaces...

      ... and IMAP access could fail as well.  Don't take my word for  
it, but at the end of the password tests, the password was set at '  
b2' (space before b2).  Then I logged off SquirrelMail and tried to  
log in, but I couldn't.  I had to ask the mail administrator to read  
what the password was.  Maybe spaces cause trouble with IMAP access as  
well, or maybe I typed too many passwords and forgot the last one.   
New tests should be done to check this out (a single one could  
suffice), but I shouldn't do more tests on passwords for now.  Anyway,  
I suppose people here (on SquirrelMail development) probably know  
better about this.
