About a year ago I too lost a week of my life to cyrus-imap (from ports). In the end I did finally get it working, it was just a matter of finding the right parts of their horribly jumbled documentation. Of course that was a year ago, maybe things have changed. The server is still running the same version of cyrus, I'm afraid to try upgrading it. :) Marius Kirschner wrote: > > I've installed cyrus-imapd from the ports collection, then spend about a > week trying to get it to work (and almost did), but eventually it took me 5 > minutes to wipe it off my HD and stay with pop3. :) The instructions that > come with cyrus-imapd are horrible and a little out-dated.
