Title: IMP3.0 Addressbook
Post by: MichieldeJager on June 13, 2002, 07:13:38 PM

Hello,

I am a relatively new user ( 4 days ) I use te latest beta (5.5beta9) and I have a problem with the addressbook in the imp.
When i want to use my own addressbook I get the following error.

Failed to connect to the specified directory.

what can I do about this?

First, if you're a new user, you probably shouldn't be using a beta.  They're not stable, hence the beta designation.

Second, if you're using a beta, you should take a look at the release notes where it says to send bug reports to bugs@e-smith.com.

Third, general discussion of beta releases should take place on the devinfo mailing list, not on the forums, as they're mainly intended for developers.

Sorry,

But the normal version doesnt have the things I need, such as a GOOD webmail program.

Second;I can't seem to find a list with know bugs within beta releases.

Third; Well You possibly are right about that, but maybe someone here can help me?

There is a howto out there on upgrading 5.1.2 to IMP 3.0 which seems to work pretty well.  I don't know of a listing of known bugs in 5.5b9, but if you send a report to bugs@e-smith.com, it will then become known.

All I've done with 5.5b9 is upgrade IMP to 3.1rc3, but that much seems to work all right.

yes, i recommend that you stick with the 5.12 version.  i've done the upgrade to imp 3.0 and it works just dandy.  just follow the howto documentation on the upgrade of webmail; it's very self-explanatory and simple.  good luck!

The differences between IMP 3.0 and 3.1 are much more minor than the differences between 2.2.x and 3.0.

I know, but the main differences are in the addressbook, and that's one of the most important things that isn't yet real satisfactory.
I am building a server for my work, and if I want to implement this server, it must all work brilliantly.
