hi, sorry for my problems with sending a simple mail......
First of all I errouneously sent a wrong message, just containing nonsens. Then I sent the right message, but it does not seem to be delivered correctly. Therefore, a 3rd trial to answer the thread of [EMAIL PROTECTED] Here Comes the Content of the previous "right" message: [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: > Guenther Abwerzger schrieb am Fri, Feb 01, 2002 at 11:32:10AM +0100: > > Dear all, > > > > I run a cyrus IMAP server on SuSE Linux 7.0.

Thanks + regards, Günther
