Re: IMAP is too secure...

2003-06-10 Thread Phillip Hofmeister 
This looks like a debian-user related issue.  I don't know where to
begin to help you.

Given that I am copying debian-user on this email and hopefully someone
there might be able to help you also.

 Helo,
 
 I think my IMAP server has become too secure... I'm using the current
 version of uw-imapd and libc-client2003debian, as listed in stable and
 stable-proposed-updates.
 
 I cannot log into my IMAP server any more... It keeps saying Invalid
 password. I can only assume it's using password encryption, but I don't
 know how to turn it off.
 
 It was never turned on before, but since the upgrade I've een unable to
 retrieve my mail through IMAP. It usually asks in the config whether I
 want clear-text passwords enabled or not, but it wasn't an option this
 time.
 
 Any ideas? I really need to get at the mail.
 
 Thanks in advance...
 
 Hobbs.

Has it added any new options to the config file?
I have this problem on my email servers, they run redhat (no comment
either ;)) and as uuw-imapd by defaulot chucks the mails in the users
home directory, I hd to add a pacth to make them by default go innto:

$HOME/IMap

If I upgrade, wusing their up[2date service it completely kills my
options, so maybe there is something similar to this with you??

  time.

Try adding the option?
