[qmailtoaster] QT / Courier-IMAP and Apple's Leopard (OS X 10.5)
Seems there's a problem between QT and Apple's Leopard Mail client, or rather he problem is between the utilized Courier-IMAP version in QmailToaster, and Apple's Mail client. Users will find themselves unable to delete files and folder under certain circumstances. I was able to replicate this. Current work-arounds don't always work, and are usually on the mail-client end - hence, not really acceptable as genuine fixes. I also tested this with a separate installation on a Postfix server, running Cirrus-IMAP, and everything works as it should (no surprise, since Apple's OS X Server also uses Cirrus). While there may be some work-arounds in the short term, personally I see a better long-term solution to be to replace Courier-IMAP with the Cirrus solution - aside from fixing this issue, it also has a smaller footprint, and much better efficiency (i.e. less load on a server with a larger n umber of users). Not sure if this has already shown up on any radar, but wanted to share a general head's up, and hoping that a solution may be forthcoming.

No, of course not, which is why I carefully worded my subject line. I've used it under Tiger and its Mail Client (Mail.app v2.0) since Day One, and never had an issue. This issue only surfaced, and was reported in multiple places, since the release of Leopard 10.5 and the associated Mail Client (Mail.app v3.0).

[qmailtoaster] Correction -- *DOVECOT* IMAP server works fine...
My bad, I made an error with the description of the functional IMAP server which I tested against - the Postfix system I was testing (VirtualMin) uses the Dovecot IMAP server (not Cirrus, as erroneously reported). - QmailToaster hosted by: VR Hosted http://www.vr.org - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
