OpenSSL is installed in the default location /usr/local/ssl on my system.
configure could check there to spare me the {C,CXX,LD}FLAGS hassle.
What is the deal with IMAP+SSL? There's STARTTLS after which SSL kicks in.
But what's the thought for port 993? How would one best set Binc up at port
993, maybe using additional programs, so that Mozilla can IMAP in SSL?
If additional programs are in fact needed, MYHO is that there should be
nothing called imaps anywhere in Binc. However, since everything needed for
TLS is already in Binc --with-ssl it should be trivial to make Binc do SSL
already from the start as well. And that would be an imaps service, on port
993. Am I correct?
Installation was painless on my hybrid libc5/glibc system, as I expected. :)
I'm currently running with IMAPdir.
This is strange:
7 create "../Maildir"
7 NO CREATE failed: No such mailbox "bincimap-subscribed"
after some cleaning up and restarting the client:
34 create "../Maildir"
34 NO CREATE failed: No such mailbox "bincimap-cache"
Before doing the cleaning up just mentioned, Binc died unexpectedly upon
quit several times when I quit the client. I assume this to be because of
severe depot breakage due to experimenting with three different webmail
packages on Binc 1.1.8. All BYE responses are clean now.
I do however get this in the log:
Client connected to Binc IMAP from 62.20.112.114
User <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> entered authenticated mode.
Client disconnected
Server died by signal 13 (SIGPIPE) for <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
Unprivileged stub shutting down - read:88 bytes, wrote:438 bytes.
Pretty good, but the server shouldn't terminate because of a SIGPIPE, right?
On a side note, I'd like the folder mess to improve, folders are working
fine at least with IMAPdirs, but I see a folder named . (a single dot) in
Mozilla and I would like it to go away. Also, I would like to not have to
change the default setting of the INBOX prefix.
How about Binc regex:ing all folder names before passing them on to the
filesystem?
Andreas, I'm sorry for rambling about this when I obviously don't know
much about it for real, I should go read the spec and figure out how it's
supposed to work, and write a really short and simple IMAP tutorial.
On the other hand, I'm not jaded yet, either.
I'd like to write a Binc-HOWTO, explaining Binc configuration. I'm thinking
about a client compatibility matrix for it, as well. Which clients work how
well with Binc. Notes, experiences and so on.
Please send suggestions for columns in this matrix to me or the list.
Right now, I have:
* Default "server directory"
* Handles subfolders (folders in folders)
* SSL support
* STARTTLS support
* Notes
..so send me more.
Binc 1.2 is very good.
Thanks for your seemingly endless enthousiasm, Andy, it's inspiring! :)
