My 2000imap works great except for 2 issues:

1-)
May  2 15:17:12 newpes imapd[9686]: [ID 273760 mail.alert] Fatal error
user=frank2 host=fronti [192.168.5.130] mbx=???: Out of memory
May  2 15:17:12 newpes imapd[9686]: [ID 746981 mail.alert] IMAP toolkit
crash: Out of memory

This error doesn't occur extremely often, but I would still like to get rid
of it.

2-)
I've had the experience that when choosing in outlook not to save password,
I would get an invalid password error in the logs. But once I chose to save
it... I could access the mailbox fine.

Any ideas?

Thanks,

C.Robinson

Dual-use is not hidden from a shell user.  The mailbox name is no longer the
same as its filesystem name.

Nor, for that matter, is it hidden from a user of a client which knows what
do
do when you select a single-use mailbox name, but must now choose between
two
different commands when the server suddenly is changed to have dual-use
names.
Put another way, switching to dual-use will change client behavior in ways
that can cause user confusion.

It is a fundamental design goal in the traditional UNIX driver in UW imapd
to
maintain compatibility with UNIX conventions and traditions.  There are
people
who choose UW imapd specifically for this reason.

It was also a design decision to follows this tradition in the mbx format
driver.

There are multiple choices open to people who do not care about
compatibility
with UNIX conventions and tradition.  These choices include using a
different
server, using one of the dual-use formats in UW imapd, or using a modified
UW
imapd.  The official version of UW imapd will maintain its current level of
compatibility with UNIX conventions and tradition.

If you modify UW imapd, please remember the license requirement to label it
as
a modified version, so I don't have to waste time with bug reports from it.
