Using External IMAP Server

[Kevin Landers]

Paul,

That is correct. Our company has servers in a co-location facility. 
Those servers house all our email/web sites, etc. I host my church's 
email/web from that server.

I suppose querying the email server and retrieving the mail as you 
mention would be fine for our purposes.

Could outgoing mail also be passed through the existing server from kolab?

I guess what I would like to see in the end result is that when a user 
is mobile (ie, out of the office) they could still use their existing 
IMAP/SMTP account on the public server with all of their email still 
being available to them. So my question/thought was whether kolab could 
use an external IMAP server other than cyrus or be able to sync two IMAP 
servers (kolab's and the external which happens to be qmail-imap).

Otherwise, they would have to connect back to the church which would be 
a horrid experience due to the DSL connection and other issues with the 
location.

Hope this makes sense. Sorry, typing in a rush.
