Within mozilla-mail, I set up my email account so that it moves emails from /var/spool/mail to ~/mbox by using imapd.
After the upgrade of SuSE-8.2, it suddenly does not work anymore. I enabled imapd from xinetd configuration. Therefore, it should work.
I hate experimenting with pop3 becasuse it will erase all my email filter setup. That will be a disaster.
Does anyone experience same trouble?
Two of us have reported that we can't get squirrelmail to work, and it is based on imap. The problem we see is that passwords are considered invalid. Not sure how related to imap that is since I don't normally use imap.
I've just spent the last few hours of my life figuring out the problem. The problem is that the imapd has been compiled to NEVER use plaintext passwords. The easiest way around this is to create an /etc/cram-md5.pwd file with the following: <username><tab><password> That will let you in. Be sure to specify CRAM-MD5 in your email client. I have no idea what this will do to squirrelmail. I installed it, but I've been jerking around with this, and haven't seen if you can even change the option there. The bad part about this is that there's ANOTHER password database to fool with now. To me, this is unacceptable. Furthermore, I haven't even tried to get this set up for SSL. Fun. Regards, dk
