Can I use POP3 and IMAP simultaneously?

Comment:
I'm running a PostFix email server using POP3. I wish to install a web mail service utilizing such a utility as WebMail. However, considering the implications of web based mail, I would like to use IMAP for the web based mail access and POP for the normal workstation access. Is this possible? Or would I have to use only IMAP or POP either/or? I was planning on using Courier-IMAP in conjunction with sqwebmail or webmail.

Yeah you can use it. all Imap does is look at exsisting pop accounts. I have never personally set it up bit I have read about it. Check out my webmail (you can only look at the front screen. http://209.23.157.26/cgi-bin/neomail.pl it is software called neomail. do a search at sourceforge.net for it. it is very very very easy to install.

Absolutly you can. Imap is using tcp143 and pop3 is using tcp110

Thanks for the quick replies. I wasn't sure if they would intuitively operate in different sessions (ports) or not. IMAP will look at accounts (not POP accounts per say) but I was concerned that the way that postfix's POP support and Courier-IMAP interacted with postfix's maildirs would render them incompatible with each other either due to permissions or ports/sessions. Thanks again!

I ended up using OpenWebMail, a fork of Neomail. This avoids the POP/IMAP issue completely by directly manipulating the mailbox files. Great system, easy to use and install except for some poorly implemented and documented paths for redhat/mandrake users.
