My understanding is that IMAP is supported, bot only in a POP fashion.  For
instance, you can only save letters locally, not on the server.  I really need
to store on the server since I not only have several mailboxes, I read them
from a variety of locations.

I would love to use vm, so please tell me I'm wrong.

Thanks,
