Maybe I miss-phrased it, but that is what I meant ;)

hehe... nice idea ;)

Yes, SquirrelMail works as designed ;) The feature I think that was
requested (as has been a couple of times) is a direct mail file read
instead of jumping through the IMAP server to get to it... ie:
SM --> Mail File
instead of:
SM --> IMAP --> Mail File
This is how OpenWebMail does it, and is the 'feature' that was
requested. OpenWebMail itself doesn't appear to use IMAP, but uses
direct mail store access, which is what is allowing them to alter
where the mail is being read from. Working with the basic principle
on where DEVEL is heading, it should be possible to develop a
backend (maybe in the near future) that can do direct mail store
access.
