has anyone tested the work-arounds from the mailing list?

I'm dropping the priority on this till someone does something.  

I've been trying to get an answer on this for over 6 months now.  If no one 
really cares then we'll mark this closed with "Red Hat => 8.0 is 
broken"...which it is.  

As with the orginal bug on BSD.courier, the users maildir files must exsist or 
the IMAP server will fail the connection.  Either put an empty maildir in your 
skel or send an email to the user at the end of your "add mail account" script.

Category:  email
Item Group:  0.9.16.000 release
Severity:  1 - None
Priority:  1 - Later
Resolution:  None
Assigned to:  skwashd
Status:  Open
Component Version:  BZIP2
Platform Version:  BSD
Reproducibility:  Every Time


Summary:  Warning: imap_open():

Original Submission:  I get the following at the top of the browser window the 
first time I open "Email" in phpGroupWare.  

-----------------------------------------------------------
Warning: imap_open(): Couldn't open stream {servername:143}INBOX in 
/usr/local/www/data-dist/phpgroupware/email/inc/class.mail_dcom_imap.inc.php on 
line 214
-----------------------------------------------------------

Everything still functions, the email is still displayed, the error just pops 
up above the phpGroupWare logo.  If I hit "reload/refresh" the Warning goes 
away, and everything is AOK.  But everytime I log out and log back in, with any 
user, the Warning is displayed.  

I don't know what is causing it, and it's not a pretty feature.  I'm trying to 
replace an Exchange server with this, but the BOSSMAN will not want to use it 
with little bugs this in it.

I'm running Postfix/Courier-IMAP for email, and FreeBSD 5.1 for the OS.

Please help!

no one ever said this made it in .16, check the date..the solution was poster 
after the release.

Before it can be commited we need to make sure that it doesn't break other 
distros.  RedHat is actually a very small part of our installed base, and since 
php doens't provide a clean way to tell what OS it's running on we can't really 
do a "if RH apply this hack" bit.  I still don't understand how RH breaking a 
package makes it our bug but here we are.

We really could just close this and say "well, RedHat is broken, use something 
else or pester RH about it", but we are going to try to make this work.

And yes, this is ONLY a problem on RedHat, EVERY other linux disrtobution works 
fine, including Mandrake.

I have just installed on rh-8.0 with courier imap 2.1.1 the 
phpgroupware-0.9.16.000-1 and the problem still exists, so the 16 release fix 
apparently didn't make it or pass QA the fix referred to here however does fix 
my issue, and a similiar change for bug 7926 also allowed the Mail validation 
to work.

as per http://forums.phpgroupware.org/index.php?t=post&reply_to=1622&rid=2
this fix seems to do the job 
http://mail.gnu.org/archive/html/phpgroupware-users/2003-11/msg00073.html 

Question is, does this break other imap servers?  I've only tested UWash and 
Courier on Mandrake.

do you have a connection limit/throttle on your impa server?  keep in mind that 
all your users will be comming from the same IP so it will be much higher rate 
and dedicated IMAP clients.

We currently have something in testing for the 16 release to fix this.  In the 
mean time a simple (but not nice) work around is to set the following in your 
php.ini

display_errors = off
log_errors = on

(double check phpgwapi/doc/php-configuration.txt for the exact names I am going 
from memory here.)
