Sort of.  When using pop3, if you delete a message, it dosn't delete it 
out of your pop3 mail box.  So you periodically have to go in through 
groupwise and delete your mail.  The imap functionality isn't much much 
better.  Mozilla mail client is the only mail client that recognizes 
their format.  (tried KMAIL,StarOffice 5.2 and Evolution ( a new gnome 
mail client). It also dosn't support any of my biff mail checkers, all 
report errors when trying to see if i have new mail

I actually like the mozilla mail client.  I was just trying to give 
people a run down of what I use
