The users do NOT have shell-level accounts - I guess I thought that's
what I was trying to avoid. Every user I add - I have to adduser and
then if I don't "really" want them on the box - except for e-mail -
disable shell access with /bin/false ??

The box is not being currently used for any "productional" e-mail, so I
can change the setup. However, because of reverse authority from SBC,
I am the reverse lookup for mail from my intenal network.

Is there a recomended reading site for IMAP vs POP ? Right now, the
users are used to using Windoze Pegasus fetching from a POP server -
but I'm open to any suggestions
