Imap working, ported wu-ftpd to cygwin


Hi,

I have downloaded IMAP server source from the sf.net project (this time im
building on my machine)... IT WORKED! I can access the server very fast,
multi folders in an imap inbox, using crypto-passwds in my pwdb. Although i
could not build some of the utils for cp'n mailboxes and stuff it is still a
very functional mail server and very fast accross the .net as well.

Ill collect up the output and build-proc stuff if anyone wants a look. As
well as the above stuff a colleague has ported wu-ftpd to cygwin, as soon as
it is stable it will be available on of these servers on the company
extranet for anonymous download:
