Quoting Koenraad Lelong
Hi, I want Courier-IMAP with MySQL support, but the version that comes with SuSE 9 does not have this. So I got the sources and compiled : "make" went fine but when I ran "make check" I got problems. When it executes the testsuite in the imap-directory it exits with an error. Any pointers to solve this ? If needed I can post the last part of the output of make check, just before it fails. B.T.W. I had no problems with the same sources compiled on 8.1. TIA
This sounds like the --enable-workarounds-for-imap-client-bugs option. Quoting from the INSTALL file: * --enable-workarounds-for-imap-client-bugs - there are a number of various bugs in certain IMAP clients. The current list of broken IMAP clients consists of Netscape Messenger and Sun's StarOffice. This option enables some workarounds for some bugs in these clients, however, note that this may break compatibility with software that correctly implements IMAP4rev1. Additionally, "make check" will fail when this option is used. See imap/BUGS.(html|txt) for more information. NOTE - if this option is used, make check WILL FAIL. You should first configure Courier-IMAP without this option, run make check, then reconfigure Courier-IMAP with this option. HTH, Jeffrey
