To debug IMAP related problems X-BeenThere: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org X-Mailman-Version: 2.1.5 Precedence: list List-Id: User questions List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: List-Post: List-Help: List-Subscribe: , X-List-Received-Date: Mon, 11 Dec 2006 04:25:56 -0000 Hello. I would wish to have a tool that would do this kind of thing: 1. listen on imap port on localhost, connect to localhost with my email client; 2. forward the traffic from/to/between real imap server; 3. meanwhile, print everything being transfer-ed, so that I can have a good ovewview of server-client conversation; I don't know what such kind of tool is usually called and thus difficult to do an effective google search. I tried a few tools in ports/net but none of them seems to be working in this way... (admit that I didn't look into pkg-descr of every package)
