This is my first post so go easy on me :-) I'm relatively new to the FreeBSD world, but I've seen enough to favor using the Ports collection over any other method. I am running 4.8-RELEASE #0. I installed /usr/ports/mail/imap-uw using 'make install'. After much confusion with OpenSSL, I finally got it working (correctly I think) with all the defaults. Oh, imap-uw version is 2002d,1. My trouble is with changing some of the defaults. Unless I'm missing something, all configuration is done through re-compiling rather than a configuration file. Not my preference, but I can deal with that. In particular I modify .../src/osdep/unix/env_unix.c to change the mail subdirectory name. I thought after making this change, all I needed to do was '$ cd /usr/ports/mail/imap-uw' then type '$ make' to rebuild it with the changes. But it seems to think it is up to date (so doesn't recompile). So perhaps my confusion is really due to lack of understanding of the Ports system or of how to compile. Thanks, Ryan
