Hi Soren MailCopa - Yes that's how I have it setup, it's been very good as whole over the year's although trying to migrate to the last version didn't work on the first attempt and reverted back to previous and before I got another chance at it they announced they wouldn't be supporting the product...

You don't have to become unpolite. I'm realy not stupid. I asked from the beginning what syntax should I use.

I have a similar problem. Emails come through fine, but if I read them on my iPhone then move them to a subfolder I can see the first few lines in the preview but when I open the email I get "This message has not been downloaded from the server". The only way I have found to fix this is to delete t...

No need to mess with password changes - it's going to FU IMAP :!: I don't understand this. Why would IMAP be any different than SMTP with regard to password changes? They share logon credentials.

Also, I was just thinking. Maybe I use one the "limit outgoing messages" scripts floating around here in combination with account deactivation and force password change.

This all doesnt make sense because MX entries are maintained by an DNS-Server in its hierachical Zonefile Databases (its not an SQL or NoSQL Database, its more like a LDAP Database).

I think the domain has to be created before you receive a message on it, or else hms will kick it for non existent address. Yup, I think you are right.
