Thanks, Mark, for your help!
I discovered that I can make this work on my system by making the following
simple change (to :
imap-2002d> diff c-client/env_nt.c src/osdep/nt/env_nt.c
342c342
< else if (!pass) return env_init (user,NIL); /* ditto pass==NIL */
---
> else if (!pass); /* ditto pass==NIL */
Basically, this makes anonymous_login() work on win2k. I dunno how good a
general fix this is - what sort of security implications it has - but since
I'm using this only on my own personal laptop, not used by others, I'm not
too worried. (Should I be? I modeled this after the parallel code for
win9x...) I guess I don't understand this part of the code still - why any
sort of local "login" is required when no local files are being accessed.
What's the need for the Guest login during the proxy connection? (I'm not
too familiar with this part of windows os interaction.)
Anyway, now it's working. Thanks again for making this tool!
Yeah, I realize this is probably a rare use these days. :) Ironically, I
need this because my e-mail client (The Bat v2) now fully supports IMAP in
the "correct" remote mailbox file model (e.g., doesn't store mail locally),
and my server only supports IMAP. But on my laptop, I need to have mail
stored and accessible locally, since I'm not always on the network, and the
only way I could do this was to use The Bat as a POP client.
