I don't think I'd change the PhP code at this stage since it won't be 
consistent and I prefer your statement below anyhow for a fix!

Not in ports but on the ATmail site.

I will get in contact with ATmail then, I hope then I will be able to 
test properly.


Once I can see the difference between ATmail and Zimbra I will choose 
one option. Just wish there was a FreeBSD port to Zimbra too though work 
was done on an ancient version I haven't seen any development since :-(

I did try posting here to see what was going on and apparently not much 
is.... :-(


Oh well..... Linux is a pain in the ASCII but it seems for certain 
things one still needs it.
