This is a tough one... lots of dependencies.

Homepage: <A HREF="http://asg.web.cmu.edu/cyrus/imapd/" TARGET=_blank>http://asg.web.cmu.edu/cyrus/imapd/</A>

Download: <A HREF="ftp://ftp.andrew.cmu.edu/pub/cyrus-mail/cyrus-imapd-2.0.16.tar.gz" TARGET=_blank>ftp://ftp.andrew.cmu.edu/pub/cyrus-mail/cyrus-imapd-2.0.16.tar.gz</A>

Hard part is that you need to get Berkeley DB (easy) and libsasl compiled.

Berkeley DB: <A HREF="http://www.sleepycat.com/" TARGET=_blank>http://www.sleepycat.com/</A>

SASL: <A HREF="ftp://ftp.andrew.cmu.edu/pub/cyrus-mail/" TARGET=_blank>ftp://ftp.andrew.cmu.edu/pub/cyrus-mail/</A>. I don't even know if SASL2 will work with cyrus imapd, but SASL1 seems harder to compile -- I couldn't even make ./configure run.

I really need this package to be able to move my mail from a server that is going away soon to my mac. Also, this is a really great IMAP server -- it's fast and allows multiple read-write connections for the same user simultaneously.

Is there anything I can say to draw your attention to this one, Apex? Do paypal donations help?

It's been requested before, but I thought one imapd server was enough. Paypal donations *always* help, but ill put it in my to-do list anyhow. [img]images/icons/grin.gif"%20border="0[/img]

Little update, we appear to need kerberos also -- I'll download it tonight. I'm compiling cyrus-sasl right now and I was able to get Cyrus imapd to use my berkely db 3.2 package.
So far so good [img]images/icons/smile.gif"%20border="0[/img]

Okay, so I've run the pkg and now what do I do? I didn't see that it created a imap.conf in the etc dir. That doesn't give me warm fuzzy feelings about this having succeeded. I've gone to the /usr/local/bin and cyradm is there, but if I attempt to run it. I get....

/usr/local/bin % cyradm

I ran into the same problems when I tried to get the package working here. I worked with Apex on AIM and we tried, but I never did get it working.

I'd be thrilled to know how if someone has gotten this working. Or if someone has better luck making another install fo this that actually works!

I realized when someone forwarded this thread back to me that I never wrote a conclusion message...

Turns out that the package available on forked.net really doesn't work at all. Bummer. Hopefully Apex or someone else can get it figured out again someday.

Cyrus is a very complicated program so a package which just installs libraries without information on how to configure it isn't much help. In addition, it requires SASL to run, so this package wouldn't run on its own anyway, and nobody I know's been able to get SASL working.

Maybe Jaguar will make this easier...
