a strange issue with kernel 2.6.17.x and pop3/imap servers!
hi all
I don't know if it is an already reported issue
so please mind the repetition here.
After upgrading to kernel 2.6.17 (both as a debian
package as well as home-made) I cannot get mail
from specific pop/imap servers (in particular the UW-IMAP)
with or without using SSL and with a variety of mail clients, including
mozilla, thunderbird or evolution!
From the little troubleshooting I did, it appears as the client
connects normally to the server, updated information about the
existing messages is displayed, but then it stacks there, the messages
are not
downloaded and the connection eventually timeouts.
The weird thing is that there is no problem with the Dovecot
pop3/imap server, or kernels before the 2.6.17 (eg. 2.6.16.x).
even compiling the 2.6.17.x with just copying the debian packaged
2.6.16 kernel's config file I get the same behaviour.
any ideas and help would be appreciated
cheers
emmanuel
