Hello I'm trying to setup some shared imap mailboxes on my linux server to be accessed by multiple outlook xp clients. Well there seems to be various incompatibilities so my question is: Is this (shared mbx mailboxes accessed from outlook through UW IMAPD) supposed to work fine or not?
The 2 major issues I've found are: 1) If I try to move a message from any mailbox (say "spam") back to INBOX, then the message just get lost. Of course imapd could decide to refuse to move a message to INBOX but then it should return an error to outlook. Instead outlook says everything is fine, the message is deleted from the "spam" mailbox but doesn't appear in the INBOX mailbox (moving form INBOX to spam or from spam to other works fine) 2) If outlook connects to the imap server (that is, if I access the imap account and not only my pop3 accounts), then Outlook often doesn't close properly on exit but leaves a hung process behind. The next time I start outlook it refuses to exchange mail unless I kill the hung process beforehand. This is not a (socket) timeout problem since it may happen even if I access the imap server for just 1 minute and then close outlook. This is with latest imapd 2002.rc8 and latest outlook xp sp2. Before the rc8 anyway I tried with 2002a-10 and had the same problem. Are these outlook known bugs? Or uwimap known issues? Or misconfiguration? Any idea on how to solve these is very welcome.
