  The text's hack works to the point of completing the installation of IMAP from the University of Washington, but it has a few bugs, not to mention that the text's hack leaves out entirely: How to set up IMAP accounts in IMAP.
  
  Now, another hack tells you how to setup a client, but NOTHING tells you how to configure IMAP itself --- how to add an account, in IMAP, to which a client would try to connect.
  
  Major show stopper.
  
  Meanwhile, one of the bugs in the text, can be better understood by visiting this webpage:
  http://cerebus.sandiego.edu/~jerry/blog/article.php?story=20031105082802606
  
  ... where the note about the note about creating a certificate, reads:
  
  "The only tricky question is when it asks you for "your name", it really means your computer's hostname."
  
  The text is incorrect, and Jerry's "blog" is correct, on that point.
  
  To date (March 17th), that is as far as I have managed to unravel the mysteries of Hack #81.

• OSX IMAP MAIL SERVER
  2003-11-25 15:16:11  anonymous2 [View]
  
  
  Would love to get it up and running - - - so far no luck
  
  running 10.2.8 - I have some unix understanding, so I am able to compile the IMAP SERVER. I went looking on the net some people say that the SSL part dose not work on OSX, is this true - I have tried both ways with no success.
  
  If some one with more UNIX knowlage could work out how to set the IMAP server up with SSL authentication. Please Post the instructions here, or at least a link to them.
  
  The Book's instuctuions have become outdated.
  
  

• IMAP port not accepting Telnet

  I have gone through this hack three times now. It's really cool, but each time, afterwards, I try to telnet localhost 143 and get a refused connection. Why?! Help!
  
  stats: mac OS 10.2.8, dev tools dec 2002, imap software 2002e

  try:
  
  telnet localhost 993
  
  993 is the SSL port; see pg. 304 in the text

• compiling the server

  When I type the 'make ...' command it gets so far but seems to fall down at this point:
  ---
  osdep.h:21: header file 'stdlib.h' not found
  ---
  ...after which a lot more .h files referenced in stdlib.h can't be found and it all goes wrong :-(
  
  Any ideas what is going on? I am by no means an expert at compiling source code, makefiles, etc... but any hints would be much appreciated!
  
  cheers

  - OSX 10.1.5
  - The imapd distribution I have downloaded is imap-2002e
  - The Developer Tools distribution I have installed is the April 2002 one, the only one I can find on the Apple Developer site for 10.1.x

  I meant to say 'referenced in osdep.h', not 'referenced in stdlib.h'

  the commands don't appear to be working starting with:
  
  %cd imap-2002.RC2/
  no such file or directory
  
  There appear to be many others

  There is a new version of the server and the folder is imap-2002d, not imap-2002.RC2.
  IF you are not good at Unix, cd is Change Directory, if you are in the wrong folder then most of the other stuff will not work You are trying to work with files that are not in the current directory (folder).
