it sounds like /sys/src/cmd/upas/fs/imap4.c:/^imap4resp
should be ignoring lines that begin with INFO;
i'd check the imap rfc 2060 to be sure.
not a hard fix if so.

 after "fixing" that & wading through the rfc and hours of hacking I
discovered that it was because Courier was bound to 127.0.0.1 and if you
connect to an other IP on the machine you get a PREAUTH to a dummy mailbox
(user=user) so it was working fine!

Well, it still doesn't connect properly (probably because /mnt/auth is
missing on this stand alone box)

I shall finish it off in the morning (even if it means hard coding the
password just to get it working!)

There are all sorts of "products" in mathematics,
but the so-called "cross product" is one of the least qualified
to go by that name.

I don't think so. It is the dual of the sesquilineal projection of the
tensorial product. I couln't resist writing it. :-)

The fact that it is anticonmutative doesn't stop it being a product,
it distributes with the sum and has an absorbing element (I don't know if
it is called so in English) and has all sorts of properties which make it a
product.

I think "absorbing element" in English is just called "zero" (if I'm
guessing right at what you mean).  In whatever ring, the additive
identity is always called "zero".

[9fans] upas/fs -f/imap faltering start

[Matt H]

Well my plan9 box is up again (woohoo)
I fiddled for ages with ndb & termrc only to discover that my 2114x NIC
didn't like the CAT5 cable (which works fine on a dlink 530tx!)

first thing I went for is mail, hoping to post my success from there
great to see imap & pop3 have made it into upas but sadly :

%upas/fs -f/imap/tcp!192.168.1.100!143/matt
%success
%unexpected line: INFO: LOGIN, user=user, ip=[127.0.0.1]
%upas/fs: opening mailbox: error in initial handshake

I'm trying to attach to courier IMAP on FreeBSD4.4

any clues or docs I can look at

cheers
Matt
