 | My apologies for the off topic discussion caused by my post.
 | 
 | I tried the imap/notls on the servers.php config file from imp, still no
 | luck.
 | Probably I need linux help, because I have other pages that I had develop
 | that use imap connections to the same server, in order to perform
 | authentication, and they are NOT working either.
 | 
 | I suspect that my php-imap functions are really messed up. Is that possible?
 | I will try to uninstall and the reinstall back all the needed RPM's to see
 | if it works.
 | Any clue how to check if my theory is right?

eduardo, forego the rpms. i'm using redhat 8.0 with only mysql and imap 
installed via rpms, everything else is a tarball that was uncompress, compiled 
and installed. check out http://webmail.mechanus.org/test.php?mode=phpinfo - 
should give you a pretty good idea of all the options you'll need to activate 
if you compile php by hand. 

the real question is if your connection to you're imap server is really a notls 
connection. the default on redhat (don't know if it was also your case, eric - 
but sure has been with mine) is that the imap rpm does install with ssl 
enabled - which means the setting in the config/servers.php should probably be 
imap/novalidate-cert. 

if you had other php-based pages talking to your imap server, what are their 
settings? how do they talk to it and what did work? if it's a protocol problem, 
there's only about four different ways of talking to an imap server (iirc, it's 
imap/notls, imap/ssl(or something similar), imap/novalidate-cert and plain 
imap, if it's an older server). 

Cheers, 

Rodolfo
