Next message: Brian Durant: "[WinMac] (OT) Commercial Anti Virus for Red Hat Linux 7."
Sounds fishy to me too. If by "Internet access works" you mean "web
access works" on both clients and server, then you almost certainly have
a configuration problem that won't be helped by re-installation.
It is difficult to diagnose your problem without more information. In
particular, what version of Wingate do you use? How is it configured?
For example, you would get the symptoms you describe if Wingate is setup
with a mapped link to your IMAP server, and the IMAP clients is
configured as if they are directly connected to the Internet. The IMAP
client on the Celvin works because it IS directly connected. IMAP
clients on a Wingate network should be configured to get their mail from
the Celvin, NOT the original IMAP server.
