All,
I recently install Mandrake 7.2 and am running into the most vexing of problems:
To Date, I cannot locate a single GRAPHICAL MUA that inter operates with an OpenBSD
install of Courier-IMAP. Here's the run down of issues:
Netscape 4 and 6: full inter operation for a few minutes(or two refreshes) and then
issues error message
saying that "Error in IMAP command received by server"
XFMail: multiple errors about headers and invalid mail box names. Cannot copy items to
IMAP folder.
Cannot send items.
Trade client: won't compile with or without SSL and LDAP regardless of installed libs.
I'll be looking closer at this at a later time.
Star Office: Mostly works but will not save messages to IMAP server. This is the most
useful MUA so far
KMAIL and APPLIX Mail: no IMAP support
Pine and Mutt : Work just dandy. Pity about the UI's, features, and unneeded dogma
though.
Ideally, I'd like PGP clear text support as opposed to PGP/MIME (lets not get in a
flame war over this!)
and s/mime support However, I can write a wrapper script for PGP 7.0.1, gpg and/or
openssl -smime as needed.
what's imperative is that the client NOT be in any way alpha or beta quality.
However, I'm quite dyslexic and find text clients too difficult to use for daily tasks.
Note 1: I'm asking on expert as I'm looking the experiences of a more informed user
base.
Note 2: I'm really sorry if I've gotten the line length wrong. I'm still QUITE new to
end user
(as exposed to server side) use of Linux/BSD.
Note 3: The IMAP server is working quite well with Win32 and Apple 8 clients. Fetch
and sync scripts
properly work via pearl and c to syc with other Cyrus, Courier, MDeamon, and Exchange
clients.
Yours,
