Ximian Evolution client / local imapd

[Earl Shannon]

Hello,

Such a connection might be useful if the imap server expected to
have the client running locally. I think the UW Imap server does that,
but I'm only guessing. As others have already pointed out, doing it
with Cyrus is not only a bad idea, it probably won't work.

Regards,
Earl Shannon
