Does the 'mobile device' have an application that supports imap/pop3 ?, or are you talking about to access via webmail ? 2009/10/16 Thu NGUYEN <ntathu at tma.com.vn>:> > Hello, > > Do you have any way to detect the client which is connecting to our IMAP > server? > > I actually have an mail server which use dovecot but I just want to allow > mobile device access to this server to get email, not desktop as Outlook, > Thunderbird ... > > Thanks for your advice. > > -- > Regards, > Thu NGUYEN > > > >

I wonder if p0f would help at all, guess it depends what kind/if any proxy exists between the mobile device and the server Quoting Thu NGUYEN <ntathu at tma.com.vn>:> Yah, thanks! > > I see HTTP can detect the OS but seems IMAP is new.

Actually, there is an IMAP proxy (running dovecot) between the real mailserver and mobile device. -- Regards, Thu NGUYEN> I wonder if p0f would help at all, guess it depends what kind/if any > proxy exists between the mobile device and the server > > Quoting Thu NGUYEN <ntathu at tma.com.vn>: > >> Yah, thanks! >> >> I see HTTP can detect the OS but seems IMAP is new.
