When I pressed SPC on this server to list the available groups, the following happened: Connecting to cyrus.andrew.cmu.edu... Opening nnimap server on cyrus.andrew.cmu.edu... imap: Connecting to cyrus.andrew.cmu.edu... Waiting for response from cyrus.andrew.cmu.edu...done imap: Connecting to cyrus.andrew.cmu.edu...done imap: Reconnecting with stream `gssapi'... Opening GSSAPI IMAP connection with `imtest -m gssapi -u %l -p %p %s'... GSSAPI IMAP connection: failed imap: Reconnecting with stream `gssapi'...failed Opening nnimap server on cyrus.andrew.cmu.edu...failed Unable to contact server cyrus.andrew.cmu.edu: nil Auto-saving... Unable to contact server cyrus.andrew.cmu.edu: nil www.google.com seems to indicate that imtest is a command line IMAP test tool. A search on finds it as part of the cyrus-imapd debian package, which my client machine doesn't have installed. Does it need to have it to be able to use GSSAPI? Whatever that is...? google seems to indicate that it is an API, and so does the name. But the messages over seems to indicate that it is some kind of secure connection...?
