--As of January 10, 2013 10:48:41 AM -0500, Michael Powell is alleged to have said: > Not exactly sure where the problem stems from, but one thing you may wish > to consider: do make config on the courier-imap port and deselect the > 'with gamin' option and rebuild/make reinstall.

Definatly an option, though I'd like to know what - exactly - went wrong, as I haven't touched those options on this box in a couple of years. (And it's apparently gamin *or* fam: They would conflict if you installed them both. I have gamin.) As it's just a personal box I can get away with trying to hunt down elusive snarks. ;) > The only thing I can think of why courier-imap might have use for > gamin/fam is for shared folders and shared folder indexing.

I'm mostly just hearing good things about it, especially that it's slightly faster. It doesn't make much difference to me, but on the other hand I have a couple of folders I do have to wait a moment to open... Mainly though, since I don't have any actual complaints about Courier (other than this new issue, which doesn't appear to primarily Courier's fault), it's not going to be moving up my priority list very fast. ;) Daniel T.
