The auth info (login and password) are passed to the IMAP server, which performs the actual authentication. So no, you don't need to recreate accounts or home directories. You will want to make sure you aren't passing passwords in cleartext though; look into SSL/TLS. If you're not using PHP 4.3.x with SquirrelMail 1.4.x, you'll need a tool like stunnel as well. Performance tips are hard to give without any details about your setup other than the fact that IMAP is ona different machine.. Software, versions, hardware info would all need to be considered. -- Chris Hilts [EMAIL PROTECTED] ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email sponsored by: Free pre-built ASP.NET sites including Data Reports, E-commerce, Portals, and Forums are available now.
