Hello,

I used Pine and impad, both from the package pine-ssl. I want to migrate
to Alpine which does not come with an imapd. Thus, I installed uw-imapd
via fink.

Interestingly, uw-imapd lists an empty mailbox whereas Pine's imapd
correctly shows the incoming mails. These are the two versions I am
talking about:

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
/sw/sbin/imapd (comes with fink package "pine-ssl")
* PREAUTH [CAPABILITY IMAP4REV1 LITERAL+ IDLE NAMESPACE MAILBOX-REFERRALS 
BINARY UNSELECT SCAN SORT THREAD=REFERENCES THREAD=ORDEREDSUBJECT MULTIAPPEND] 
Pre-authenticated user claus cirrus.local IMAP4rev1 2004.357 at Fri, 11 Jan 
2008 09:50:28 +0100 (CET)

/sw/sbin/uw-imapd (comes with fink package "uw-imapd")
* PREAUTH [CAPABILITY IMAP4REV1 LITERAL+ IDLE UIDPLUS NAMESPACE CHILDREN 
MAILBOX-REFERRALS BINARY UNSELECT ESEARCH WITHIN SCAN SORT THREAD=REFERENCES 
THREAD=ORDEREDSUBJECT MULTIAPPEND] Pre-authenticated user claus cirrus.local 
IMAP4rev1 2006k.398 at Fri, 11 Jan 2008 09:51:08 +0100 (CET)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

uw-imapd, however, shows the content of all mailboxes when they are
given by their absolute path (e.g., in Pine:
"inbox-path={localhost}/var/mail/claus" instead of
"inbox-path={localhost}inbox").

I guess that uw-imapd has configured the default mailbox location
incorrectly, whereas Pine's imapd is OK.

Any idea on how to solve the problem?
Claus

PS: I also tried dovecot, but that's another story... (It refuses my
clients on port 143, even though I set "disable_plaintext_auth = no".)
