I can't speak intelligently about Ubuntu edgy. I started with feisty and
am now on jaunty.
As far as Panda IMAP (and UW IMAP 2007e) is concerned, modern versions
(and possibly earlier ones) of Ubuntu are a type of Debian, and therefore
the appropriate build command is
make ldb
You do not need to specify IP=6 since that is set unconditionally with
Debian builds.
You can ignore the rest of this message unless you are interested in
technical details.
lnp may build successfully, but the SSL paths will be incorrect. As with
other Debian systems, Ubuntu expects the CA certificates to be in
/etc/ssl/certs and the private keys to be in /etc/ssl/private. Sadly,
consumers of OpenSSL (such as IMAP) are expected to know this, and to tell
OpenSSL this. It would have made more sense if there was a systemwide
setting that OpenSSL would use without asking the consumer to know; but
there isn't and thus we need these multiple builds.
The other way is what autoconf does; look at various well-known places to
see where the right place is. But then if you have certificates or keys
in multiple places (perhaps due to updates which changed the location), it
can build to configure the wrong place. That, in turn, leads to all sorts
of strange issues, because sometimes it may work (because the right key is
in the wrong place) and sometimes not...oh dear, oh my...

Hello,
After many trials, I was able to enable SSL on ubuntu making it with
"lnp IP=6" as saw in one mail. Could it be related to "inetutils-inetd"
?
Could you confirm it is the correct make option for ubuntu edgy (at
least) ? Maybe I didn't read well the FAQ.
I use uw imap for about 10 years, this is the first time it take so much
effort to launch it.
