A new IMAPd is one of the last remaining requirements I need to get working before I upgrade my enormously old version. I've just managed to finally get a successful build of Cyrus IMAPd 3.4.2 on a reasonably recent NetBSD x86_64 machine. I have not yet tried to run it -- I need to make a pkgsrc module with my few necessary patches and then install it on a test machine. It still after all these years has some remarkably egregious portability and build problems. Turning on a few extra compiler warnings generated nearly 200,000 lines of output during the build (though perhaps 90% of it was repeats due to the errors being in common headers). -- Greg A.

This seems like a fair bit of work and no-one else seems interested in it, and I certainly don't have the time or time to develop the skill to get pkgsrc to do it. FreeBSD's ports has current Cyrus and current Guacamole etc, and it's a BSD UNIX, for my purposes, I think FreeBSD might be a better option for my purposes. cheers Carl

I want to run a much more recent version, but don't have the skills or time to maintain anything in pkgsrc. Has anyone here looked at, or is, running a more current version? Maybe just compiled by hand? Any war stories? A while ago I added version 3.0.13 to pkgsrc-wip[1] because I needed the CalDAV/CardDAV functionality.
