- The following are known problems/deficiencies in the IMAP 4.7 toolkit:
- . Possible problems for some installations:
- . In some versions of Redhat Linux, SVR4-style timezone name lookup
- doesn't work properly due to a bug in glibc. The workaround is to
- edit os_lnx.c to include tz_bsd.c instead of tz_sv4.c. Note that
- other versions of Linux don't support BSD-style timezone name
- lookup, so don't make this change unless it's needed on your system.
- . /tmp, /usr/tmp or /var/tmp (if present), and the mail spool directory
- must be protected 1777 (world write with sticky bit); otherwise
- mailbox locking and updates won't work.
- . Multiple access protection locking does not work if the mailbox or
- /tmp are NFS mounted.
- . Shared access mailbox formats (mbx, mtx, mx, and tenex) do not work
- well with NFS and such usage is not supported. mmdf and unix formats
- are supported for use over NFS; however there won't be any multiple
- access locking protection.
- . Server startup delays may occur if a reverse DNS (IP address to name)
- lookup on the client's IP address does not complete in an expeditious
- fashion. This is actually a DNS problem and should be fixed in the
- DNS and/or the server's host table. A workaround exists (see the
- top-level Makefile for details) but is not recommended and can not
- be used at all with Kerberos.
- . Bugs:
- . It doesn't work to have a "}" character as a user name in /user= in a
- mailbox name, even if the user name is quoted. In other words,
- {blurdybloop.com/user="foo}bar"}zap won't work; foo will be interpreted
- as an unterminated quoted string and the remote mailbox name will be
- bar"}zap.
- . Case-independent searching only works for the 26 Roman alphabetics and
- not for any other characters
- . The experimental mx driver has performance problems and shouldn't be used
- . docs/internal.txt is out of date (again)

- mailboxes to have inferior names
