I'm using UW IMAP on Linux (RH6.1 2.2.14). It does authorize my username though, as I have access to everything else in worldpilot. And sometimes, it will work but will hang for quite awhile, when it does come back with mail it only shows my unread mail, everything else has no subject or sender, and is dated at 1969. This only happens after I get the error message below and click on 'Inbox' again.
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.
