We're going to do something about these mailing list names. Even though the actual software is called c-client, most people don't remember that name...
You don't need to build with SSLTYPE=none if you want to allow your Java client to connect with plaintext passwords. SSLTYPE=unix will also work, that is:
make gso SSLTYPE=unix
This will build with SSL but without disabling plaintext passwords.
It should work given what you've described. What, exactly, happens "when it tries to find the mailbox it can't"? Do you get an error message? If so, what is the message? Do you get a seemingly empty INBOX?
What are the *exact* contents of the first line of a /var/mail/username file that exhibits this problem?

I'm compiling using gcc.
make gso SSLTYPE=none
because I need a java client to be able to connect with plaintext passwords. Yes I know it's bad. We'll fix the app later.
When I use mtest everything works fine. I get prompted for a password but when it tries to find the mailbox it can't. I've tried it with and without mbox, with and without a dummy first record (copied from another system). Another time I did this, pine helped me create the mailbox but this time it appears to have made matters worse. I've tried hardcoding the mail directory.
Anybody got this working under Solaris 8?
