Usually, the problem can be solved by tracing with strace. This is because the only way to find out what's happening behind checkpassword's curtains is to look at system calls. Try connecting to the IMAP server manually using these instructions: http://lifewithbincimap.org/index.php/Main/BasicFunctionalityTest First you should check that when authenticating, the server quits like you first reported. Then with a new connection, when connected, before authenticating, attach to the bincimap-up process using strace, as described here: http://lifewithbincimap.org/index.php/Main/DumpingWithStrace Now authenticate, see that the error occurs again, and post the dump to this list. Most likely, this will show what is wrong.
