So I finally bit the bullet and installed IMAP so that I could use one of the non-openwebmail webmails. Squirrelmail's docs make a big point of how if you're running mbox and don't make sure the locking mechanisms are well-coordinated, you run a risk of turning your mailboxes into hamburger.
How do I find out if mutt and dovecot see eye-to-eye on locking mechanisms? I've heard lots about how dangerous mbox is and how I should probably not even be using it, but I've been using mbox for an awfully long time now, and I have a feeling that converting my system would be non-trivial. Or at least annoying. While I understand that maildir allows you to isolate corruption to single messages instead of the entire mailbox, I guess corruption just seems so unlikely that I haven't worried about it. I'm sure it will bite me soon. -- monique -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
