I read on the linuxconf mailing list that there is a new vimap version that will allow multiple connections to the same imap user box if the mail file is converted to mbx format on the linux server. I hope Friedrich didn't mind my cross posting his message. -eric wood
<snip> Hi! If you always wanted your vimap user to not see other namespaces, like #news, #ftp, .... just the needed ones to access their mail and want to have their folders in the better mbx instead of the default unix mailbox format then grab the vimap source rpm at ftp://ftp.fl.priv.at/pub/vimap/SRPM/SuSE-7.3/with-mbx-and-no-namespace/ change if you are on redhat or suse and a "rpm -bb imap.spec" should create what you want. Before I forget, files starting with a dot, like ".vacation.*" are also hidden now. Only tested on SuSE 7.3. If you have troubles with this just take the patches and the orginal vimap src-rpm from http://vimap.sourceforge.net/ and rework that. If you install this on a server already running vimap then only newly created mailfolders will be in the mbx format. I'm currently working on how to autmatically create /vhome/domain.com/home/user/INBOX so the imap daemon copies all mail from /var/spool/vmail/domain.com/user to this place. The plus of the mbx format is that more than one mail-client can access the same mail folder at the same time. That's not possible if you stay with the defaults. -- MfG / Regards Friedrich Lobenstock </snip> ----- Original Message ----- From: "Chris Mason" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > That happens to me when I use another imap client to access the same account > simultaneously. _______________________________________________ Redhat-list mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
