I just want it to work and work well with a minimum of configuration 
issues, so if I can even get it configured to work, fantastic.

It will only benefit the organization down the road.

Be happy to share my experience once I'm done, if I can account for the 
time issue.

I've never been real great at keeping track of time.

I guess I'm just one of those types of people that has never felt the 
need to keep track of my time, but I totally understand how this 
undersells me and doesn't give the maximum of benefit to our office.

It's something that I'm trying to work on a bit harder. :-)

Take care.

By the way, if anyone has any great input on Cyrus IMAP installs, I'd 
really appreciate any feedback.

The Cyrus-SASL rpm set comes with this issue of YDL, and I thought about 
trying it out.

Thanks, all.
