Since I don't know where to send this, I thought this to be the most
appropriate place, sorry if it is not.
Mac OS X Lion's Apple Mail client, fails to authenticate with imapd-2007e.
In the b64 encoded authentication parameter "authzid\0authcid\password",
authzid is empty when sent by Apple Mail.
As a result, authentication fails.
Attached is a single line minor patch that corrects the failure.
Also, what is the story here about code base development, from what I
can see, it hasn't really been active for a number of years...
Did the developers move on, or did the code reach feature completion or
what ?
