IMAP on Debian

I've installed popfile on Debian, both using the standard apt-get and by downloading the package as suggested at http://getpopfile.org/docs/howtos:debian . Neither of these seems to have the option to enable IMAP support. Any suggestions?

    You enable IMAP support from the "Advanced" tab of the UI. Look at the IMAP directions here:

      That's what you do if it's installed IMAP. But that option doesn't appear, and nor has the IMAP perl module been installed. I saw a reference online to the Debian package having accidentally missed that out when building. Is it something I can bolt on afterwards? If so, how?

    Debian's popfile package is rather old; in fact, it doesn't currently have a maintainer who could update the package to a more recent version.

    I suggest you uninstall the package and instead install POPFile manually.

    First install the required Perl modules from CPAN: 

    sudo cpan Bundle::POPFile

    Then [download] the cross-platform version and unzip it to a directory of your choice (you don't have to install or run POPFile as root) and from the shell start POPFile with perl popfile.pl after changing to the directory where you installed it.

      Ok, thanks - thought I might be missing something. Will have a go.

        Odd, I'm getting connection reset each time I click the Update button to save configuration. Anything known?

          Do you have POPFile running in a terminal? Are there any errors or warning messages?

          manni

            Never mind, seems to have gone away and I'm up and running. Thanks for your help.

    Hi,

    I've uploaded unofficial packages for Debian (made by me) here:

    http://amatubu.skr.jp/?POPFile/Debian_En

    They have been tested on Debian 4 (etch) and Debian 5 (lenny).

    Naoki
