      I see.  But then, what was you question about?  I mean, when I  
said qmail was used for POP3, you asked "Could you test same software  
for POP3 server as the one that you use for IMAP?".  I have no idea.

      It's a surprise for myself to be told that the mail server at my  
workcenter is running either Courier or Dovecot for IMAP... but in  
spite of both of them being able to service POP3 as well, having qmail  
to do it.

      I see.  Well, thank you, I'll check on it.
