Simply (and maybe stupid) question ...... is there anything that can be easily used to automatically compress IMAP traffic between client and server ? I was thinking if the SSL/TLS code enables some kind of compression as well. the idea is to reduce IMAP traffic between server and clients and not using VPN-like solutions, the idea is just some IMAP4 standard client (compatible with SSL/TLS if that's the case) and nothing else. can something like that be done ? -- Atenciosamente / Sincerily, Leonardo Rodrigues Solutti Tecnologia http://www.solutti.com.br Minha armadilha de SPAM, N?O mandem email gertrudes at solutti.com.br My SPAMTRAP, do not email it

I recently tested this with gnutls-cli program, openssl s_client for some reason didn't support it. I've no idea if any actual IMAP clients support it.
