Beyond this point, these options only apply to the Professional Edition of MailMan. The Standard Edition does not store users' messages and does not write files of any kind to the web server that it is installed on, so it cannot offer the features described beyond this point. The reason for the rule against writing files is because system administration is extremely simple with the Standard Edition. Once you set up the Standard Edition, it's set up, there is nothing else to do. You never need to worry about whether it is writing too many files to your hard drive because it just doesn't write files of any kind.

If you are using the Professional Edition, however, then your users will have a few more options. One of them is organizing the messages that they have downloaded into folders. This is what the folder listing looks like in the out-of-the-box interface templates that come with MailMan. You can easily customize this to look like pretty much anything that you like. Your users have three standard system folders by default, "INBOX", "SENT" and "TRASH". They can also create and delete additional user folders.

Mail stored in user folders is subject to MailMan's quota system, which allows you to specify the maximum size that any user's message folders are allowed to consume. Once the user has gone over quota MailMan will present the user with a warning that they have gone over quota and that no new messages can be downloaded from the POP3 server until they free up some space.
