Using External IMAP Server

[Paul Douglas Franklin of Yakima UGM]

Kevin,
I believe I have seen a setting for the outgoing mail to be passed 
through the existing server from Kolab, but that's not how I do it.  On 
my computers at home, I have the SMTP set up to send directly to our 
server here at work.
Concerning allowing your mobile users to access the existing IMAP 
server, I don't know.
