Hi, We are wondering if anyone knows the security features of IMAP. I know (at least I think I know;) that plain POPMAIL uses no encryption on the password, and that APOP provides some encryption. Ideally we would like a secure system that is accessible from any laptop anywhere on the net. Thanks, Blair. Computer Engineering Inc. http://www.compeng.net Phone: 780 499 5687 (9 - 5 MST) Fax:

Hello, I'm running an Debian etch box with unstable and ever since the last upgrade to dovecot, I've seen odd things. At times, I would see emails would go missing from the Inbox or other folders, and I couldn't move emails that were moved from the Inbox to another folder back into the Inbox. These have seen gone away since I removed all dovecot.* files and .index* files from my

I''m setting up a new Rails project that is a nice front end for a company''s personnel database with a legacy schema.

Loading all this takes a while, when the application really only needs the

How does IMAP lock the /var/spool/mail/user file? Here's my problem: I'm writing a script to expire old or oversize mail through a series of archive folders. I don't want to take the whole server down to do this, nor does it seem like I would have to lock the user out entirely if I can manage to emulate the locks correctly. I am able to lock /var/spool/mail/user (and ~user/mail/*)

I'm using samba-3.0.14a as our samba server for 12 windows machines. Works OK, except that it doesn't show itself on the browse list. That is, on any of the windows machines the browse list shows all the machines _except_ the server itself. Yet net view \\server ( on one of the windows machines ) shows the shares on the server. /var/log/messages shows the linux box winning the server

The following message is a courtesy copy of an article that has been posted to comp.protocols.smb as well. Okay. Maybe someone knows the answer to a question I have about password synchronization. The smb.conf man page says that the "passd chat" string controls the chat between smbd and the local password changing program. The man page goes on to say that the string can contain

Hi All, I'm interested in putting some unit tests into an R package I'm building.

Are there any suggestions out there? Currently I have several (a lot?) classes/methods
