Well I've switched that server over to dovecot and so far everything is |
| 38 |
working well :) There's a few deep nested folders that aren't |
| 39 |
subscribable normally, but are after a manual tweak of the subscriptions |
| 40 |
file but I'll work that out later. |
| 41 |
|
| 42 |
Thanks for the input, dovecot does seem to be faster and more |
| 43 |
lightweight which is perfect for this installation. |
| 44 |

| 45 |
Thanks |
