Fine, if the server CAPABILITY states it supports ACL, then you can reasonably assume this to be the case, but there is no CAPABILITY or response to indicate that this really is allowed or disallowed (as pointed out before). All the client can do in the current environment is attempt to make a multiple connection (if it so desires) and it is then upto the server to refuse this if it can't support it. The client must then handle such a refusal in a friendly way. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Cyrus Daboo mailto:daboo@cyrusoft.com Cyrusoft International, Inc. http://www.cyrusoft.com Voice: +1 412 605 0499 Fax: +1 412 605 0705 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Proud Purveyors of Mulberry: Internet Mail from the Ground Up ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
