[binc] Can't see headers or download mail

[Reed L. O'Brien]

I setup qmail and vpopmail without much trouble but I can’ get IMAP working for the life of me.   I am setting it up on Fedora Core 3 I followed the qmail rocks installation for qmail and vpopmail. Qmailrocks recommends courier but courier won’t compile on Fedora Core.  It requires Authlib which in turn requires FAM which is an orphaned project and has been removed from FC3.  Dovecot is the standard FC3 IMAP server. I couldn’t get dovecot working either.  Then I found (trumpets blare, angels pluck harps) binc-imap.  I installed according to readme (v 1.2.12) and set it up in services. I set bincimap.conf to IMAPdir as that is what qmail/vpopmail is using (I think).   I can point a client at it, Thunderbird says opening folder then just spins. Outlook says fetching 3020 new headers, which is about the right number of items in the in IMAPdir.  It even says (in bold) 3020 new messages by the Inbox folder in Outlook, but click on it and nothing appears in the reading pane.  Manual login via telnet plays out something like the following.     * OK Welcome to Binc IMAP at 2005-06-03 11:27:16 EDT a login [EMAIL PROTECTED] secret a OK LOGIN completed a CAPABILITY * CAPABILITY IMAP4rev1 IDLE LITERAL+ NAMESPACE CHILDREN a OK CAPABILITY completed a select Inbox * 3020 EXISTS * 3020 RECENT * OK [UNSEEN 1] Message 1 is first unseen * OK [UIDVALIDITY 1117812474] * OK [UIDNEXT 3021] 3021 is the next UID * FLAGS (\Answered \Flagged \Deleted \Recent \Seen \Draft \*) * OK [PERMANENTFLAGS (\Answered \Flagged \Deleted \Seen \Draft \*)] Limited a OK [READ-WRITE] SELECT completed a LIST a NO LIST failed: Expected mailbox after LIST SPACE a LIST Inbox a NO LIST failed: Expected SPACE after LIST SPACE mailbox a LIST Inbox "*" * LIST (\Unmarked \HasNoChildren) "/" "INBOX" a OK LIST completed a LIST Inbox "." a OK LIST completed     I know I am really close.  Any help would be appreciated. Any more info I can provide?   Thanks in Advance.   ~reed     Reed L. O’Brien Systems Engineer Focus Data Solutions, Inc. www.focusdatasolutions.com t.703.836.0080/f.703.299.0892
