With Courier/Evo they aren't sorted lexically (=alphabetically?), but as
one tells Evo to do.

How would the user do this? Is this Cyrus-specific?

Which are not Evo, though.

Allowing more than one account is an admin/organization policy decision
that is not sanctioned here, at Billy. At least, mail may only be sent
(smtp SASL AUTH) by a system-authorized (LDAP) logged-in UID and
obviously only be IMAP-read by the same UID.

This is RH RHEL 3 Evo 1.4.5 on Gnome 2.2 (September 2003 release) and I
don't think you can compare it to your 2 distros. RH 9 is dead and
Fedora has gone its own, unfathomable way. I have no problem subscribing
with Mozilla 1.4.1 or Mozilla 1.5.

Thanks for your input ;)
