user problem with my imap package
A user has written to me about a problem with my imap package but I don't
know much about NFS. Can anyone offer me a clue?
It seems significant to me that he doesn't have problems connecting to
another linux box (albeit RedHat not Debian) but not to Solaris. I seem
to recall reading somewhere that Linux is missing some NFS daemon solaris
has? Could that be it?

Hello,
I've installed your debian imapd package but am having trouble commiting
changes to my inbox, and I don't know why. Mail (/var/spool/mail) is
NFS mounted from a directory on a SPARC, and I am trying to access the
mailbox from another domain. I can successfully log in and read my
mail, reply, etc, from Netscape, but no changes are being saved.
Netscape also refuses to allow me to delete messages at all. I have no
problem using another imap server within this domain (redhat/Alpha) so
it's not a Netscape problem AFAICT. Any ideas why this may be so?
A little diagram:
____ ____ ____ ____
/ \ 10Mb / \ T1 / \ 10Mb / \
| me | ----- | AA | ----- | BB | ----- | CC |
\____/ \____/ \____/ NFS \____/
"me" is my machine, an Intel running NT/Netscape. AA is an Alpha
running Redhat/Linux, and acting as a masquerading firewall. It also
has a functional IMAP server. BB is a SPARC running Solaris 2.4 that
recieves mail, and CC is an Intel Debian/Linux that mounts the mail area
from BB and runs an imap server, not really working.
Thanks for any help you can give,
Christopher
