Re: [mh] internet_mail.pl - gmail broken?

[Rick B. <ric...@gm...>]

I did the following, and see some improvement:

1) Installed Mail::IMAPClient from CPAN (v3.11). This installed some
dependencies including one of the MD5 encryption modules.

2) edited imap_utils.pl to set $port
from:
$port = $main::config_parms{"net_mail..._server_send_port"} unless $port;
to:
 $port = $main::config_parms{"net_mail..._server_port"} unless $port;

(this may have been unneccessary?)

Now with debug on, I see a bunch of stuff sent\rcvd, and and the MH web
interface Mail\Headlines\News page shows the count of messages, but doesn't
list them (sorted by any of the options) on that webpage.

?
Thanks, Rick
