I've managed to get popper up and running on my sun and I've been trying out Eudora. I like the interface and we will probably use it for all of the non-unix/mostly-mac users in the front office. But I would like to keep my mail sorted on the unix host rather than locally on the mac. Is there any way to get Eudora/popper to read from a different mailbox than the default system mailbox? From my quick scan of the Eudora docs and especially the POP-3 protocol rfc, I would guess the answer is "NO". ( But I wouldn't mind some verification from somebody who really KNOWS! ;-) I also tried to get Mailstrom to work, before I read the appendix and saw that the IMAP host it refers to is a completely different protocol: [ rfc1203 Interactive Mail Access Protocol - version 3 (Obsoletes RFC 1064) ] ( I also note, that in looking up that number, I see that I've been reading a superceded version of POP-2: rfc1081 instead of rfc1225 - so maybe there are added functions ? ) From another quick scan of the documents, this protocol seems to be designed more for what I have in mind: access to a centralized mail repository from multiple clients in a way that keeps changes common to all. Is that an accurate description of the different domains of those two protocols? Where can I find an IMAP server for unix ? Are there any IMAP clients for MS-DOS ? (or others for Mac besides Mailstrom?) ======== "If you have a hammer, find a nail" - George Bush,'91 ========= Steven D.
