why are you so tied into using UW imapd? it's pretty much universally regarded as insecure and poorly written... you might consider courier IMAPD. you might check out these patches if you haven't already. my tests worked ok (a long time ago), but note that they won't use the courier style 'maildir++' format (ie making all folders subfolders of INBOX and naming folders like '.folder') http://www.davideous.com/imap-maildir/ and another, for more recent UW imapd: ftp://ftp.cistron.nl/pub/people/miquels/imap/upstream/maildir.patch also, if you want to run IMAPD locally instead of using an IMAP client to read off the server, why not use fetchmail or something (which IIRC can do IMAP) to download your mail onto the local machine? -- Will Yardley input: william < @ hq . newdream . net . >
