It is working sorf of except everything marked unread and all folders are gone. This could be a byproduct of doing a: user# fetchmail -p IMAP oldIMAPserver.localdomain Also fetchmail only downloaded the 110 newest emails. Some one recommended moving the imap file from the old server to the same location of files of new server. Maybe this will give my folders back. I guess I will be updatedb ; locate imap on both servers to find that out. Derrick 'dman' Hudson wrote:

Apparently something is listening on that port, so the TCP connection is established. However, whatever was there disconnects for some reason without presenting any greeting. Now look at the logs on the server and see why the server isn't working. -D
