Subject: IMAP coexisting w/POP3?

Okay, after beating sendmail into submission, we're ready to install a 
set of MUA's for our office.  Here's the scoop.

We've got one SVR4.2 server, a stand-alone PPP router, and about 40 
Windows workstations.  The only people that would need an MUA on the 
server would be myself and the other admin; for this purpose, I was 
looking into installing Pine, because I've used it on my school account 
(this one, in fact), and like it muchly.

On the Windows workstations, we would like to install a Windows native 
MUA, such as Eudora.  The Windows MUA *must* be extremely user-friendly, 
as the users around here demand it.  For this, then, we would need to 
install POP3 on our server.

Here's my question.  Can IMAP service coexist with POP3 service?  Am I 
asking for trouble?

And on another line: Is PC-Pine character based, or does it have all the 
nifty Windows things that the users in my office need?

Please email responses, and I'll summarize and repost.  Thanks!

Certainly.  Both the c-client and Cyrus IMAP servers come with
compatibility POP3 servers.

Since you don't seem to have a significant number of users who can log
into your mail server, the Cyrus IMAP server may be closer to your
needs.  See http://andrew2.andrew.cmu.edu/cyrus/imapd/
