Thread hijack (was: Re: Dovecot versus Postfix)

[Jan Sneep]

I'm using Outlook 2000 for all my emails.

Something is very weird, no doubt, if new messages don't come through and
yet "replied to" ones do ... :O(

I had someone, who was looking after the Admin for the day, some months ago,
look into it, but couldn't see what the problem was. I have tried to
'Unsubscribe' and then re- 'Subscribe' several times ... nadda.

So perhaps if I can find a better email client than Outlook 2000 the problem
will disappear ... I'll check out Thunderbird ... keep your fingers crossed
... :O)
