Yeah :)
Binc doesn't care about NFS, it should work perfectly fine.
I was more wondering if binc is getting into a state where it's going berserk on the filesystem... the fact that it's NFS just making that worse than it thrashing a local filesystem.
Thanks! Also, please attach to the haywire bincimapd process with gdb if you can, and do a backtrace on it. This will show exactly where Binc is spinning. I'll have to look at it this weekend, but it'll speed things up if you can provide a backtrace. (Binc needs to be compiled with debug symbols).
Okay, I'll look at recompiling binc with debug symbols.
Thanks for the report! I'm sure we can fix this.
Thanks. I feel bad for this one faculty member... he seems to be finding all the weirdnesses in my mail server... he was also the one to discover that Thunderbird makes the assumption about IMAP servers supporting the CHILDREN extension. We found a way to kick Thunderbird into being less stupid though. And I'll even reiterate it for the help of other people. First off, I'm using an IMAPdir depot (don't know if using Maildir++ would keep this workaround from working, but I figure I should put in that detail).
Create a folder in your base level, not the child of any folder. Then move that folder into a folder that has children. Then collapse and expand the folder you just put the new folder into. At that point Thunderbird actually scans the folder and finds the first level of subfolders. You do have to repeat for subfolders of subfolders. It's obnoxious, but from that point on, Thunderbird caches the folders.
Other than these couple of problems, I've been very happy with binc's ease of setup and use... and want to solve these problems so I don't need to switch to something else :)
Thanks, --Kurt Mosiejczuk
