Just a couple of quick "orientation" questions from a newbie to your
Mail::IMAPClient module (2.2.9, on Linux with Perl 5.8.0):
1. The Washington IMAP software (written by Mark Crispin who also wrote
the RFC) allows "rsh" authentication(*) without a password. Does yours?
If so, how? If not, could you consider it allowing it, please?
2. If the INBOX (or, I preume, selected folder) is logically empty(+),
the command:
my $hashref = $imap->fetch_hash("RFC822.SIZE");
gives an error:
Use of uninitialized value in string at
/usr/lib/perl5/5.8.0/overload.pm
line 94.
Any thoughts? Any tests you'd like me to do, or patches to apply?
(*) rsh: Imagine UNIX clients and a server which are mutually trusted such
that general "rsh" access is acceptable. Then the client-end command:
rsh <server> /etc/rimapd
establishes an IMAP connection which is pre-authenticated, not needing a
password.
(+) In Washington IMAP, an empty folder the file may still exist and may
well contain an internal placeholder message (for UID, I believe), but
there are zero 'real' (user-level) messages.
