I have update my backends.local.php:
$servers['imap']['name'] = 'IMAP Server';
$servers['imap']['disabled'] = false;
$servers['imap']['hostspec'] = 'imap.dcs.bbk.ac.uk';
$servers['imap']['hordeauth'] = true;
$servers['imap']['tls'] = 'tls';
$servers['imap']['maildomain'] = 'dcs.bbk.ac.uk';
$servers['imap']['smtp'] = array (
'horde_auth' => false,
'debug' => 'true',
'lmtp' => false
);
$servers['imap']['acl'] = false;
$servers['imap']['debug'] = '/tmp/imp.log';
$servers['advanced']['capability_ignore'] = array('ESEARCH');
but then I notice errors in the web server logs:
PHP Fatal error: Only variables can be passed by reference in
/var/php/5.3/pear/Horde/Idna.php on line 42, referer:
https://webmail.dcs.bbk.ac.uk/webmail/imp/dynamic.php?page=mailbox
which refers to the lines:
case 'INTL_UTS46':
return idn_to_ascii($data, 0, INTL_IDNA_VARIANT_UTS46);
and then later on it fails to find Class 'Horde_Idna' since the above error.
PHP Fatal error: Class 'Horde_Idna' not found in
/var/php/5.3/pear/Horde/Mail/Rfc822/Address.php on line 96, referer:
https://webmail.dcs.bbk.ac.uk/webmail/imp/dynamic.php?page=mailbox
I wonder if it is a compatible problem:
$ /usr/php/5.3/bin/pecl -V
PEAR Version: 1.9.5
PHP Version: 5.3.29
Zend Engine Version: 2.3.0
Running on: SunOS webmail-master 5.11 11.2 i86pc
