Hi Tres, This was written up last week and after a little digging on egroups (I thought I had saved that message) I finally found it. Jo Meder provided the following information <quote> Chances are, that the request to "LIST *" in directory "" that imaplib issues cause your imapd to begin scanning your whole home directory which can be a lot of data, as we all know. I worked around this problem by creating /etc/c-client.cf with the following contents (the first line is required by imapd, otherwise the file is not accepted): --------------------------------------cut here ------------------- I accept the risk for IMAP toolkit 4.1. set black-box-directory /var/spool/imap_folderlinks/ --------------------------------------cut here ------------------- I then created /var/spool/imap_folderlinks and symlinked the directory in which my mailbox folders reside to /var/spool/imap_folderlinks/jo Repeat for all users on the system and set permissions appropriately. Jo. </quote> Also some information on this can be found in the file imaprc.txt that should be in /usr/doc/ or where ever RH dumps it. (I'm running this on SuSE myself.) I have tried this fix but I probably will. On Tue, 29 Feb 2000, Tres Seaver wrote: <snip>
WU IMAP on a RH 6.x box is *bizarre*.,
Ok, I kicked this off before dinner, having added some debugging output to imaplib.py. When I came back, there was a TON of it dumped across the console at which I was running Zope, but no mail. Basically, it had walked down through all the .gnome/* directories, sucking up bitmaps, retular files, subdirectories, everything (ICK!).
Maybe we need to add a property to the WorldPilot object which lets you configure the folder passed to the initial list() call (e.g., to be something like "~/Mail"). This parameter would default to the empty string, so that the Cyrus clients would continue to operate as before. I'll see if I can't come up with some kind of patch.
