Vpopmail 5.2.2 includes the clear-passwd patches from the 5.3 series. You can --enable-clear-passwd and it will work properly with old vpasswd files. -- Tom Collins - [EMAIL PROTECTED] Note: The Tom Logic offices will be closed October 23 to November 18.

If you dont want to use the vpopmail 5.3.x devel versions, you should instead use vpopmail-5.2.2, as this build includes many bugfixes over the 5.2.1 version, including one very important bug fix that relates to courier-imap Michael.

I think in later versions of 5.3 folks updated the code to support either. I'd recommend backing up your vpopmail/bin, lib and include directory then doing a regular install of vpopmail with --enable-clear-passwd=n. Re config/compile courier-imap from scratch.
