Re: IMAP and 8.2

David,

stunnel does not work with the imap-2000 package supplied by SuSE 8.2. You have to find an imapd implentation that supports plain text logins.

The point of stunnel is to convert an insecure imap server into a secure one. SuSE blew this apart by building imapd in such a way that it would not support this.

Hi! This is not entirely true. SuSE's imap-2002 package released with 8.2 has to be enabled to accept plaintext passwords. This is easily done by creating a file '/etc/c-client.cf' with the following content: -- I accept the risk set disable-plaintext 0 -- WIthout the '--' of course... ;-) Have fun, Peter
