For the record, there is no such thing as imap-2001c, at least not released by Red Hat. Perhaps you've made a typo? Please confirm/correct, so we are on the same page. Assuming a typo... I would wager that this is not an imap package problem, but a php_imap problem. The exact package name-version-release on Red Hat 7.2 is imap-2001a-1.72.0 The package on Red Hat 7.3 is imap-2001a-10 I agree that this could be a php_imap bug rather than an imap bug, but it seems odd that compiling php_imap against imap-2001a causes the problem whereas compiling it against imap-2000c-10 causes it to work correctly, whereas compiling it against imap-2001a causes it to break. It's not an imap server problem, since other IMAP clients are unaffected. Has there been any action on this? It still appears to be outstanding and breaks most PHP based web mail systems. Just because you compile something against one release of imap and it works, and compile it against another release of imap and it does not work, does not in any way lock it into being a bug in the imap server or sources. It is entirely possible that this software is misusing interfaces, or some interface has changed that should not have been used by software (such as internal interfaces). I've looked into this a bit, and I believe that it is a bug in the php software, not in UW imap. Without specific proof of a bug, and more troubleshooting and debugging information supplied in the bug report, it isn't worth wasting a lot of time debugging to find out in the end that I'm right. Please report this bug to the upstream maintainers of UW imap if you believe it is a bug in UW imap. I personally consider it a php webmail bug however, and suggest you report the problem to the authors of the php software you're using. |
