Hi all -

New to the list so apologize if this is a common question, but Google got me no-where.

Background: I've been running uw-imap for ages, probably pushing a decade. Use to run it plaintext, but beat it under control with SSL/TLS a year or so ago. Running on an Intel box under Gentoo Linux. Had some really funky compatibility problems but eventually got it working.

Well, today a Gentoo update trashed my system. Its been ages since I've done a clean build, so that was my evening (and now into morning) project. All is well on the system: Postfix is running, as is Apache... mail is flowing per Squirrelmail (which I use when out of town).

Alas, I can't get Thunderbird to read via imap after reinstalling uw-imap on the server. I don't know if its relevant, but I upgraded from 2007f to 2007f-r1 during the rebuild. [Edit: no its not, I just downgraded to the same release I was running before and still have the problem].

Whenever I try and read mail, I'm getting messages like:

 xinetd[28676]: START: imaps pid=31857 from=10.184.155.208
 imapd[31857]: imaps SSL service init from 10.184.155.208
imapd[31857]: Unexpected client disconnect, while reading line user=??? host=UNKNOWN
 xinetd[28676]: EXIT: imaps status=1 pid=31857 duration=0(sec)

I haven't changed the Thunderbird configuration, it remains setup to do a SSL/TLS normal password connection. I've checked the obvious: I've logged into the account via squirrelmail, all is well.

I've recompiled the entire system without error.

I'm basically stuck.  Any suggestions?

Running a 3.3.8 kernel if that makes any difference. Xinetd is obviously seeing the imap request and spawning the imapd process, but the handshaking isn't happening. Guessing is has something to do with SSL.

Help please.

Kevin
