any of those numbers mean anything to you? :) I might try my own compile and
see if its any better.
If "2002e" means that it was derived from imap-2002e, this is a version
that is nearly 5 years old. I can't offer much support for dinoware,
much less dinoware that has been modified by third-parties in ways unknown
to me.
The current, supported version of UW IMAP software is always on
ftp://ftp.cac.washington.edu/mail/imap.tar.Z
Please upgrade to the current version. If the problem persists in the
current version, please let me know.
Why are you using mx format? mx is utterly unsupported and has been in
that state of non-support for 10 years. If you want a dual-use mailbox
format, you should use mix which is supported.
I'm trying to port my mail from my IMAP server to use it in the Gnus
mail/newsreader, running in the nnml backend which apparently is the same
format as mx/mh?
mx is quite a bit different from mh. Besides the use of the .mixindex
file (which contrary to its name only provides limited indexing), mx uses
CR/LF format newlines instead of UNIX-style LF newlines. I doubt very
much that Gnus or nnml does either. At the very least, you will need to
delete those .mixindex files and get rid of those CRs, perhaps through a
script that runs tr on all the files.
Consequently, mh may be a better fit, but that requires your setting up an
mh profile plus deal with the way that mh works. It isn't clear that
would save any effort.
Doesn't the Gnu software have an IMAP client that can access your IMAP
server? Then again, I can understand you're wanting to get mail off an
Exchange based server since Exchange is not a very satisfactory IMAP
server... ;-)
