I have tried setting the imap paths to my old university account (ucsub.colorado.edu) which runs on a SunOS 5.6 box, and all works fine, just not on my Linux boxen (i have tired it on two seperate RH machines). If I set up a new account with only a few messages in the inbox, all works fine, but on older accounts with a much larger /var/spool/mail/* file, I get the original 'INBOX' error message.

I'm experiencing the same thing. I have some Digial Alpha's (tru64) running UW IMAP 4.7 and on two systems it works fine, one system (and another test RH Linux box w/ UW IMAP via RPM) we get these INBOX not writable errors.

Ita gotta be a flakey imaplib - it may have something to do with the MTA, since on the working Alpha's we are using procmail, and the one bad one is using mail.

But I don't as yet know the real problem.

Hi, I keep gettinh this message when I log into worldpilot. I'm using UW

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

IMAP 1969.

This only happens after I get the error message below and click on 'Inbox' again.

File /usr/local/Zope/lib/python/Products/WorldPilot/imaplib.py, line 468, in select readonly: INBOX is not writable
