You're right. Thanks! In fact, imapd was installed by pine or pine-ssl.
However, there is a strange thing: pine's imapd (Pine 4.60, IMAP4rev1 2004.350) works fine with Apple Mail, whereas pine-ssl's imapd (Pine 4.61, IMAP4rev1 2004.352) does not. With the newer imapd, Apple Mail tells me that the server does not accept the password. The old version works fine.
I know that this is not a pure fink problem, but since it is caused by the change of fink packages (pine to pine-ssl), somebody might have solved this problem already.
Greetings, Claus
I use that version of imapd (in secure mode) with Apple Mail. What I had to do was create, using sudo, a file called /etc/cram-md5.pwd. In that file, on each line put a user name, hit TAB, then enter a password (which doesn't have to be your account password):
name password name2 password2
The ownership and permissions should be like so:
-rw------- 1 root wheel 32 3 Jun 22:04 /etc/cram-md5.pwd
You may have to reboot or otherwise restart imapd. -- Alexander K. Hansen Fink Documentarian Day Job: Levitated Dipole Experiment http://www.psfc.mit.edu/LDX
