IMAPD for Weasel Pro

2005-02-13 13:11:39 -- Eugene Gorbunoff [VOICENWS, Peter Moylan]

IMAPD for Weasel Pro has just been updated to version 0.06. You can get it from this ftp.

This is an add-on for the Weasel Pro mail server that allows it to act as an IMAP4 server in addition to its existing POP3 and SMTP services. Although it is ultimately intended only for registered Weasel Pro users, the present version is a timed demo that will work without registration with any recent version of Weasel. It will time out at the end of April 2005.

Although this is still technically a test version, it seems to be behaving well under load, and it implements almost all features of IMAP4. I wouldn't yet recommend it for full-scale commercial use, because it hasn't had enough testing, but it should be satisfactory for noncritical applications.
