Right. Two things are different: 1) You need to dump stderr. stderr is used for logging. You don't see stderr on port 143 connection, because stderr gets dumped to syslog. If you do an rsh, stderr then gets in with stdout. 2) As you can see, starting imapd this way will make it come up in preauthenticated state. This is really pine's breakage. Pine should be smart enough to pick off the server's * PREAUTH response, and forego authentication. > also since upgrading (i think the old version was like .99 or something; > the new version is 1.4.0, built from the debian package), i've had a > couple pine users claim that sorting a folder takes longer.
