both under Win2k and Linux (RH 7.1). I have a patch to test for mail rendering. With the patch applied, I found IMAPS (secure IMAP) connection to my school IMAPS server (via port 993: UW IMAPd version?) didn't work. Although my patch doesn't touch anything at all in IMAP/IMAPS related code, I removed my patch and compiled again. That didn't change a thing. I had exactly the same problem on both platforms.
Given this, one may think there's a bug or issue with either Mozilla or a particular version of IMAPS server running on my mail server. However, both m 0.9.8 and recent nightly builds work fine with my mail server. At this point, it occurred to me that optimization vs debugging build might have to do with this strange phenomenon. So, under Win2k, I turned off debugging and built an optimized build. To my dismay, nothing changed. As the last resort, I tried to connect to my imap server via non-secure protocol (i.e IMAP: port 143 as opposed to IMAPS: port 993). Voila... My build worked ! Well, this doesn't solve my problem, though. How on earth do binaries built at netscape work fine with IMAPS and my mail server while my builds (with presumably identical sources) don't work ? On Linux, differences in compiler version and library may lead to this, but under Win2k (I'm using VC++ 6), it's less likely, isn't it? Has any one had a similar experience? Any illuminating idea would be appreciated. Jungshik Shin
