Were you able to authenticate to bincimap from Outlook? The warning from Outlook about the certificate indicates that you have initiated a
connection, but the error message indicates that connection failed.
What do the logs say?
By the way, you don't need /service/imap if all your clients are going to be using /service/imaps.

I'm new to bincimap, so I've probably got something trivial wrong. I've built bincimap from source, using the default ./configure stuff. I'm attempting to run it using djb's daemontools.
If I...
svc -u /service/imap/log svc -u /service/imap svc -u /service/imaps/log svc -u /service/imaps

If, however, I connect using Microsoft Outlook XP, configured to NOT "Log on using Secure Password Authentication (SPA)" [1]
Under "Advanced", I've turned on IMAP/SSL, by checking "This server requires a secure connection".
The INSTALL document only talks about what ./configure does, and, as I say, I just used the defaults.
The README document seems a little out-of-date: it talks about "securing your service". AFAICT, the relevant lines are already present in the default configuration files.
I've generated the self-signed certificate using 'make cert', and got a warning from Outlook.
However, every time that I go to "Update Folder List", I get the following error message:
Task 'Synchronizing Hierarchy...' reported error (0x800CCC0E) : 'Could not fetch new headers in the folder (null) for Account peculiar.differentpla.net. Error:Unable to connect to the server..'
Any ideas?
While looking through the bincimap archive, I also found a mail talking about a problem I seem to have:
root 241 0.0 0.0 1236 252 ? S 14:36 0:00 \_ readproctitle service errors: ...ng: unable to stat imaps: file does not exist?svscan: warning: unable to stat imap: file does not exist?svscan: warning: unable to stat imaps: file does not exist?svscan: warning: unable to stat imap: file does not exist?svscan: warning: unable to stat imaps: file does not exist?svscan: warning: unable to stat imap: file does not exist?svscan: warning: unable to stat imaps: file does not exist?
What's the cause for this? How do I fix it?
Regards, Roger.
[1] What is "secure password authentication" anyway? Is this just Microsoft's name for MD5 passwords or something?
