Hi,

I use the imapd that comes with pine(-ssl). Pine works perfectly on it
and it still does, because I tunnel through ssh. However, in all cases
when I have to login manually (e.g. using Apple's Mail application), the
login fails.


I have Mac OS 10.3.

It used to work until I have changed from basic password to shadow
password. <http://www.oreillynet.com/cs/user/view/cs_msg/26273> says
that for 10.3 with shadow passwords the imapd needs to be compiled
differently.

BTW, I am wondering why Pine and IMAP are not two separate packages,
independent from each other.

Greetings,
Claus



I've got a file (only readable and writable by root) called /etc/cram-md5.pwd which contains <user>[TAB]<password> pairs, e.g.
myusername mypassword


Note:  the password doesn't have to be your login password.

That allows the imapd from the Pine package to work for me.
