Mark,

We're also considering running IMAP alongside a system with NFS shared
mailboxes. We already have pop2 (from PC-NFS) and pop3 (popper from
Berkeley) set up here. Would we _have_ to change to ipopd2 and ipopd3 ?

I don't see why you'd  _have_  to change to ipopd[23]. And I'm not
sure whether ipop3d supports the XTND POP command set, which popper
supports. You need that if you're sending messages via the POP server.

No, there is no requirement to run ipop2d or ipop3d, unless of course you want
to use their POP -> IMAP conversion services.

Ah! What are these? (Have I overlooked some docs on this?)
