RE: Imap Server and Procmail
I believe you have to add it into IE's certificate list, and then outlook will remember it. As for how to do that step with FreeBSD, I'm not sure on that. -Mike > -Original Message- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of > Drew Tomlinson > Sent: Wednesday, January 21, 2004 10:32 AM > To: Matthew Seaman > Cc: Loren M.

Re: Imap Server and Procmail
Loren M. Lang told a big fish story including the following on 1/20/2004 6:18 PM: [...] Lastly, are there any good how-tos on setting up ldap address book support for outlook? They're looking for any easy way to have a global shared address book. And how would they edit it from windoze? I would also appreciate any info you find on this subject as I wish to implement the same thing. At one time, I tried setting up an LDAP server but was overwhelmed with the whole definition of my address book. But now I'm considering giving it another go.

What am I missing, there doesn't seem to be anything to even configure for it to complain about. You need to build the mail/imap-uw port and the underlying mail/cclient with -DWITH_SSL_AND_PLAINTEXT.

This is for a company migrating from a windoze mail server to a unix-based solution and I don't want to have to install a homemade CA cert on all the 40+ computers there. No, you misunderstand. mail/cclient defaults to doing SSL-ized stuff, and this option adds back the ability to work in plaintext. Even so, you can run IMAPS (encrypted IMAP, uses port 993) and access it via MS Outlook quite happily, without having to install certificates all over the place. However, you will have to teach your users to accept the "security certificate cannot be verified" message at the beginning of a mail session. This has proved a difficult concept for a few of my users. It seems there should be some way to teach Outlook to accept it permanently but I have not been able to do so. If you find a solution to this, I'd appreciate hearing about it.
