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.
