After the upgrade of SuSE-8.2, it suddenly does not work anymore. I enabled imapd from xinetd configuration. Therefore, it should work.
Here's the final deal. (See my other mail for a workaround.) What you can do to get "normal" imaps operation running is...
1) Create a stanza in /etc/xinetd.d/imap like so:
# # imaps - SSL-encrypted imap mail daemon # service imaps { disable = no socket_type = stream protocol = tcp wait = no user = root server = /usr/sbin/imapd server_args = -s flags = IPv4 }
In the update directory of SuSE's official ftp site, there exists the updated imap, i.e., imap-2002-45.i586.rpm The problem persists, still the same. It provides the /etc/xinetd.d/imap file, but content is different from what I see. It is like: # imap - imap mail daemon service imap { socket_type = stream protocol = tcp wait = no user = root server = /usr/sbin/imapd flags = IPv4 } First, one can notice it is "imap", not "imaps". What is the catch here? What about "server_args = -s"? Is it significant in any way?
2) Create an SSL cert. You might already have one from before. It goes in /etc/ssl/certs, and needs to be named "imapd.pem". If you need a new one, you can use this to create it (from http://www.washington.edu/imap/documentation/SSLBUILD.html):
openssl req -new -x509 -nodes -out imapd.pem -keyout imapd.pem -days 365
I cannot understand how SuSE overlooked this problem before they brought SuSE-8.2 to the world. The above information should exist in the release note at least. This will be the biggest blunder that SuSE-8.2 has brought just as the CUPS trouble that SuSE-8.1 brought when it was introduced. Thanks a lot.
