Pegsus IMAP revisited
« on: October 04, 2001, 02:18:52 AM »
I noticed Jason Scrivener's post of earlier last month about getting Pegasus working as a win32 IMAP mail client with SME 5.0 (then EESG 4.1.2).

I've struck problems as he did. i.e. when connecting to the IMAP server Pegasus brings back the error:

"Profile 'IMPAP mail':

The IMAP server that manages this mailbox or folder has reported an error during the operation you have attempted to perform.

The operation cannot be completed."

When run in debug mode I get the following output:

--- Sun, 30 Sep 2001 16:43:40 ---
Connect to '192.168.1.1' port 143, timeout 30.
16:43:40 >> 0063 * OK servername.mydomain.dyndns.org IMAP4rev1 v12.264 server ready\0D\0A
16:43:40 << 0031 A1 LOGIN "username" "password"\0D\0A
16:43:40 >> 0023 A1 OK LOGIN completed\0D\0A
16:43:40 << 0015 A2 LIST "" ""\0D\0A
16:43:40 >> 0022 A2 OK LIST completed\0D\0A
16:43:40 << 0011 A2 LOGOUT\0D\0A
16:43:40 >> 0073 * BYE servername.mydomain.dyndns.org IMAP4rev1 server terminating connection\0D\0A
16:43:40 >> 0024 A2 OK LOGOUT completed\0D\0A
--- Connection closed normally at Sun, 30 Sep 2001 16:43:40. ---

The logout after LIST completed looks normal - ie the client is
sending the command to the IMAP server, so the closure doesn't look faulty.  Perhaps the information it's getting on LIST is not what it's expecting, causing it to close the connection?

I'm going to chase this on the Pegasus newsgroup/list and will report back, unless of course someone here can make a helpful suggestion/comment :-)

Did you ever find out a solution to this problem?

No, the error/Bug remains the same in PegMail 4.01 and nobody found a solution yet.

Outlook and such evil proggies can read imap from e-smith, so whats the deal?

I have given up on Pegasus, since reading some comments that it's  IMAP support might not be the best.

In the interim, I have found a nice little mail client called Becky! Mail that works quite nice.

It might not have all the features that Pegasus does, but it's pretty slick.
