Dear all,
I have recently installed Courier 0.47 onto my Slackware 10.0 box using MySQL for the auth back-end. Local delivery, esmtp, pop3 all work fine. IMAP on the other hand authenticates but then hangs when a client attempts to open the INBOX (or any other folder for that matter, subscribed or unsubscribed).
I have made a client independent connection using the following:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ nc localhost 143
* OK [CAPABILITY IMAP4rev1 UIDPLUS CHILDREN NAMESPACE THREAD=ORDEREDSUBJECT THREAD=REFERENCES SORT QUOTA IDLE ACL ACL2=UNION STARTTLS] Courier-IMAP ready. Copyright 1998-2004 Double Precision, Inc. See COPYING for distribution information.
a login testuser testpass
a OK LOGIN Ok.
a select INBOX
At this point it just sits there, it seems as though it is attempting to do something but it can't/doesn't time out. I have also tried Mozilla Mail and the only sign that something was happening once is the message Opening folders in the status bar.
I would be very greatful if someone could shed some light on this.
There might a problem with your famd daemon, if your system uses FAM.
Also, under some configurations if a previous IMAP process was killed in the middle of scanning a folder, the next time the folder is opened there may be a delay of about ten seconds, while the new process waits for the folder lock to clear.
