Hi Gurus,

I have some doubts regarding imap and would like to be clarified:

1) Is imap a safe substitute for pop3 in the sense that it circulates only
   encrypted passwords?

2) Why in the installation of imap is it necessary to install also pop2
   and pop3 services? I thought I could disable pop completely so that to
   prevent the security hole represented by ascii passwords.

3) What is the right option to run make for DU/OSF1 3.2 under C2 in order
   to build imap? (I am not sure between "osf" - OSF/1, and "sos" -
   OSF/1 with SecureWare).


TIA,
