Courier-imap Outlook problem - RE: Imap && imap-ssl && pop3-ssl



We are using courier-imap in the configuration outlined on the marlow.dk
website.

One problem we keep having involves M$ Outlook clients. It seems that
something breaks with the communication between the server and Outlook
clients (or posssible corrupts the pst files created for each maildir).

Has anyone else been faced with this problem? Since we are unable to
convince our clients to move to Debian desktops with KMail or some other OSS
alternative, some workaround for this issue would be greatly appreciated!

Googling has not proven very helpful (only confirmed this as a problem).

Thanks in advance,

Hal

  What we run here, is standard uw-imap and popa3d, with stunnel. Works
like a charm.

  I know courier could handle everything with a single hand and half the
overhead, maybe someday I'll migrate every mbox into maildir and set
that up, but in the mean time, it does a pretty job.
