Charles,
Thanks for the tips. I opened a telnet session and ran
tail -f /var/log/maillog
When I set up the Netscape client as a POP3 client and check for mail, I am prompted
for my password and then I get my mail. There are added log lines in the maillog file.
However when I switch the client to IMAP, all I get after a while is that netscape
cannot access the server. I tried switching from the Fully Qualified Domain Name to IP
address with no luck. Also, there are no additional log lines added to the maillog
file.
Finally, I can go into command line, issue a "telnet IMPAserver imap" command and get
the proper IMAP prompt. It also adds lines to the logfile.
Have you ever run into this?
Frank
