Thanks for the information. The server is described by my customer as
|
|
?Washington University's WU-IMAP version 2004g?.
|
|
What you told me is pretty much what I thought. However I still cannot
|
|
get the LIST command to work with any of the
|
|
alternate namespaces. For example here are a couple attempts. What
|
|
does the message "mh format names disabled" mean?
|
|
|
|
<recv 155>* NAMESPACE (("" "/")("#mhinbox" NIL)("#mh/" "/")) (("~" "/"))
|
|
(("#shared/" "/")("#ftp/" "/")("#news." ".")("#public/" "/"))
|
|
A006 OK NAMESPACE completed
|
|
<send 25>abcd LIST "" "#mhinbox"
|
|
<recv 95>* NO /users/u2/bob/.mh_profile not found, mh format names disabled
|
|
abcd OK LIST completed
|
|
|
|
<send 22>abcd LIST "" "#mh/%"
|
|
<recv 95>* NO /users/u2/bob/.mh_profile not found, mh format names disabled
|
|
abcd OK LIST completed
|
