Re: Newbie Virtual Accounts Authentication

Thanks for letting me know nothing has changed with UW-IMAP and for the
other suggestions. I thought I would need to head that direction.

I have the Apple server software, but there are issues between using
the GUI for configuration and editing the files directly. The GUI is a
subset, so you can screw up your settings if you are not careful. My
ultimate goal is to use MySQL as a message store so I can link messages
to our contacts database. I couldn't get dbmail to compile properly on
OSX, although I've heard of others that haven't had problem.
