Hi, I run a small site, about a dozen users, and many of the users POP their mail. I have just installed Squirrelmail which uses IMAP. Has anyone had any significant problems with mixing POP and IMAP for mail retreival?

Get users to pick one and they will be happier. -- MailScanner is like deodorant... You hope everybody uses it, and you notice quickly if they don't!!!!
