I've upgraded my desktop system, to SuSE 9.2, but now I'm having problems getting the IMAP server to run. I've installed the Washington IMAP server, and it is enabled, along with imaps in xinetd. However, I can't seem to connect to it. I don't recall having this issue, when I had previously set up IMAP in Red Hat 7.3 and SuSE 9.0. The mail program is configured to use ssl. Have you generated the imapd ssl certificate? Are you connecting on

I'm forwarding you one of my own mails on another list: ---------- Forwarded Message ---------- Subject: Re: uw imapd package Date: Monday 24 January 2005 09:50 From: Silviu Marin-Caea <silviu@genesys.ro> [...] And uw-imap is left way behind by dovecot for IMAP usage. uw-imap uses mbox format which has the advantage of simplicity and ease of administration. But it doesn't index it, so it becomes S L O W when the mailboxes are larger than 100 MB and there are a number of users simultaneously using IMAP. dovecot uses the same mbox format but creates indexes (in separate files). So the simplicity is preserved and speed is much, much better. Of course it doesn't matter if all you need is POP3. [...]
