Hi Paul, after I find out the correct syntax for using imap with telnet it looks good, here a log:
------------------------------------- snip ---------------------------------------------------------- mailserver:/usr/src/dbmail-2.1.6# telnet localhost imap Trying 127.0.0.1...

( I don't like dev-versions because then I have to fight with automake, libs, rules, ...... and (last but not least) new bugs) Kind regards, Jochen > Jochen, > > Could you plz try the following: > > telnet imapserver imap > 1 LOGIN username password > 2 select yourmailboxname > 3 uid search 1:* undeleted body "Anfrage" > 4 logout > > This looks like a bug a fixed after 2.1.6 was released. > > About time 2.1.7 saw the light of day. > > > > Jochen Schroer wrote: > >> [...] -- ECS-Solution GmbH Raiffeisenstr. 26 67817 Imsbach Germany Web: http://www.ecs-solution.de Tel: +49 (6302) 609 71-0 Fax: +49 (6302) 609 71-1
