[Phpgroupware-developers] Email Questions.

[Bob Crandell]

Is there anything inherit to imap that would prevent one user from proxying into
another user's account?  For example, with Groupwise, a user can give 
permission to
another to allow them to see what emails there are, on one extreme or give 
another
user full access, so that user A can send and receive mail as if he were user B.

Before I was introduced to phpGroupware, I supported, and still support, 
Novell's
Groupwise.  I have to say this compares quite favorably with it.  Keep up the 
good
work and I'll install it on every Linux server I build.

Merry Christmas
