List,

I've posted my problem three different times and have received a few
suggestions.  I've tried these suggestions which include upgrading to the
latest Imap version and log all php errors to a file.  I've searched the
archive for previous occurences of this problem.  Although I didn't find any
posting with the exact same problem, I found somewhat similar problems and
tried those solutions as well.  I've checked the host settings on the server
and everything seems to be in working order.

My problem is that I can't login to Imap through my install of Imp.  I've
verified that the user/pass is correct for the user.  I'm running RH6.2 and
the latest stable version of Imp and horde.  The horde test.php3 script says
that everything is working fine.  I can't telnet to Imap.  It gives me an
invalid user/pass but I can connect from both a client such as Eudora and
from the Horde demo site.

Here are what my logs say about the failure:

-maillog-

Aug 17 09:40:17 web1 imapd[15163]: AUTHENTICATE LOGIN failure

-php.log-
[17-Aug-2001 09:40:23] PHP Warning:  Retrying LOGIN authentication after
AUTHENTICATE LOGIN failed (errflg=1) in Unknown on line 0

I'm running Imp and Imap on the same server.  I don't know if that makes a
difference.  I noticed in the FAQ that php needs to be compiled with
'gettext' support.  Does that apply to the stable versions as well?  If so,
that may be my problem.  I think that there has to be a configuration
problem somewhere.  Here is a portion of my defaults.php3 file:

-defaults.php3-
/* Server Specific Configuration */
$default->localhost                      = 'localhost';
/* Web Server Configuration */
$default->root_url                       = '';
$default->include_dir                    = './templates';
$default->graphics_url                   = '/graphics';
/* Default IMAP Server Configuration */
$default->server                         = 'darkpenguin.com';
$default->from_server                    = 'darkpenguin.com';
$default->port                           = '143';

Could someone please help me?  I've been struggling for weeks to get this to
work and I'm at my wits end.

Thanks,
Jason
