I am starting to use xmail on an embedded system based on ARM. Due to the
limited space available, I had to make IPv6 and SSL support a compile time

Essentially, I added a bunch of ifdefs around the problematic code. There are
not that many though.

Do you want to have these patches?

I doubt very much that Davide will accept to include that in the main distro. However, if Davide agrees, I think it might be useful to have those patches - especially the no-SSL one - available for download on XMail home page.

Current versions of XMail require that you have SSL up and running even if you don't use it (which means that you may stumble over SSL-specific bugs even if you have disabled SSL, as in the case of the Windows-specific CtrlClnt issue discussed some time ago in the list). Patching the source may be faster (and funnier ...) than setting up and configuring something you're going to disable.

For me, I've been running a patched version of XMail since 1.24 (basically, I stripped all references to SSLBind.cpp and SSLConfig.cpp and to everything that depends on them).

For Davide: there are *a lot* of broken links on XMail home page. I can send a list if you feel like deleting them.

Ciao, Francesco
