Hey guys,

Just getting into this discussion.

I have a real life demo of IMP running at

https://mail.yourweb.com.au/

Heaps of our users use it, I have setup a demo account so you can log in
and see it

username: demo
passwd: demo

send a mail to demo@nospam.mail.yourweb.com.au to check it out.

Kewlo.

Matta
