Re: [CSCMail-Users] Problem installing CSC Mail

[Steven K. <sk...@st...>]

Thanks!  I have kinda left the Perl install script as a low priority since I
am focusing on the c-client based C version.  This gives CSCMail IMAP
support, no Database dependancies, faster at everything, NNTP support,
"normal" local mailstore, and other cool features. (use Pine and CSCMail to
read the same mailstore if you like, as CSCMail can read ~/mail or whatever
format you keep your local mail in.)

This means there is no need for a "cscmail console" version (just use Pine)
and that CSCMail will support whatever protocols and mailstores the c-client
supports (right now, mbox, maildir and some others, as well as POP3, IMAP4,
SMTP, NNTP)

Hope to have something usable released soon... (I recently switched to an
IMAP based mailstore for my personal mail, and since CSCMail didn't support
IMAP, this has "re-energized" my development efforts.)

P.S.
    Yes you will be able to migrate from CSCMail perl to CSCMail 2.0 ... If
you run 1.7.x I have recently fixed the MBOX export feature so that it makes
a c-client compatible mbox.... I will be adding further enhancements to this
export (right now the dates get munged) and also include a "standalone"
export script that will walk your folder tree and export all your mail to
mbox format
