Greetings,

I have semi-succesfully gotten XMail and Courier-IMAP to work together.
There is just one minor issue which I believe has to do with the way XMail
stores the e-mails in the Maildirs.

XMail stores e-mails with CRLF (\r\n) at the end of each line, (which is the
way they are received via SMTP). However, when they are transmitted via POP,
the CR is stripped.

Qmail on the other hand stores e-mails with just the LF at the end of each
line. So, when the messages are retrieved, there's no need to do any
stripping at all.

Now, the problem...

When retrieving the messages via IMAP, Courier-IMAP apparently assumes that
the CR isn't there, and just reads the file and sends it as is. This causes
a problem in Outlook. Outlook (version 6 at least) processes just the first
line of the messages header (usually the Return-path) and ignores the reset
of them, treating them as part of the message body.

Courier-IMAP works fine with qmail, exim, and postfix; is XMail storing the
messages improperly? Has anyone else gotten Courier-IMAP to work with XMail?
If so, how did you overcome this issue?
