For a few years we have wanted to make a 64 bit version of VPOP3. This should have immediate performance benefits when there are large numbers of users, and will allow us to add more performance improvements later, such as caching IMAP4 mailbox folder contents etc. For the past year or so we have been […]

No, this isn’t about how to run a mail server when you’re a bit inebriated. For those who don’t know, Wine is a Windows ’emulator’ for Linux (actually Wine Is Not an Emulator, but by calling it an emulator it makes it a bit easier for people to understand). The main ‘problem’ with Wine, is […]

Read More...Command line access to VPOP3 settings
In VPOP3 v5 and later, all the settings are stored in the main database. While this makes it easier to backup, migrate and use database replication, it does make it a bit harder to access settings from outside of VPOP3.
