Version: 1.4.6 (using KDE 3.0.7 (KDE 3.1 beta1)) Installed from: compiled sources Compiler: Apple Computer, Inc. GCC version 1151, based on gcc version 3.1 20020420 (prerelease) OS: Darwin (Power Macintosh) release 6.1 This is a new installation of kmail. I point it at my PMDF IMAP server and configure it (I assume correctly). The PMDF server requires SSL/TLS and when I click the button that queries the expected security it offers it responds reasonably. However, once configured, kmail will not download mail. If it has problems, I'd expect that there would be error messages, but nothing. (I can send mail, which also requires TLS and SASL, and go a couple of error which I fixed.) Is there a log file i can look at somewhere?
If you compiled your kdebase and kmail with enable-debuf than you can see the debug output of the kioslave in your .xsession-errors file. Can you connect to the server with encryption? Can you connect with a different imap-client?

If was compiled using fink. By the look of it, there is no .xsession-errors file anywhere. > Can you connect to the server with encryption? This server MUST use encryption to be connected to. > Can you connect with a different imap-client? Well, this is a Mac, and I have e-mail available from this server with Netscape and Apple Mail so I'm far from dead as far as mail is concerned. And this also shows that the server is reachable and functional. Hmmm... I just added my .Mac account which is also IMAP. This is used without any encryption, just plain text. Nothing happens. It is though the whole mail reading part of kmail was missing... This is mac OS.X.2.1 and kde compiled and linked from scratch. -Ross-
Can you watch the network-traffic of the account without encryption with e.g. ethereal and post the output (remove the password first)? Otherwise I don't see a chance to track this down.

Hi Ross, >> 14-OCT-2002 20:50:27: IMAP thread: [4] pmt_recv error, errno=32 >> 14-OCT-2002 20:50:27: Error: broken pipe >> 14-OCT-2002 20:50:29: IMAP thread: [4] pmt_recv error, errno=32 >> 14-OCT-2002 20:50:29: Error: broken pipe These error messages indicate that either the network connection dropped out or the client unexpectedly terminated the session. Because your other mail clients work fine, if I had to guess I'd say it's a problem with the version of kmail that you're using. Any chance you can drop forward or backwards a couple versions to see if that makes a difference? Michael Lamont Process Software
I'm not aware of any problem that makes the kioslave disconnect but you can of course either try to update from cvs or try the 3.0 branch.

When kmail was built i had not installed the August developer kit update. With the update installed a rebuild of kmail seems to be working (more or less). Interesting really...
Then I assume it's fixed.
