If all of the users use IMAP4 then you will have all of the mail on the server. That said, IMAP4 is a much more busy protocol that POP3 and if you have a lot of users then you need a honkin' big server (multiple processors, gigs of RAM) to handle the process.
If all of your users were using Pegasus Mail and are all on the same LAN then they could be using Pegasus Mail in the direct mode and forget about using any sort of POP3/IMAP4/SMTP at all.
1. Install WinPmail in the multiuser mode on the "server". Use c:\pmail for the program; c:\pmail\mail for the mail directories.
2. Run PCONFIG.exe from the WinPMail program directory and change the HOME and NEW mail directory specification to the \\server\vol\pmail\mail\~8
format.
3. Go to the remote workstations and install a shortcut to the common program.
Ok, now you have the basic mail system setup. You can send mail to each other using Pegasus Mail.
4. Install Mercury/32 on this same server pointing to the Pegasus Mail directory structure. Use MercuryD, MercuryS, MercuryC at least. Use
\\server\vol\mercury\queue for the mail spool directory.
5. Point MercuryD at all of your POP3 mailboxes to download the mail to your Pegasus Mail user directories.
You now can send and receive Internet mail via Pegasus Mail. The mail is delivered to the Pegasus Mail directories automatically. You send mail simply but putting the output files into the Mercury/32 mail spool directory. This is accomplished automatically with a Pegasus Mail User Defined Gateway.
6. If you want to maintain other POP3/IMAP4 clients, point the client at the at your Mercury/32 host as a POP3 and SMTP host using the Pegasus
Mail username and password to pickup the mail.
You can do a complete inbound and outbound mail archive with this setup using a simple Mercury/32 "Always" filter that put a copy in a users mail directory.
