Re: Headache with IMAP

I thought that was the problem, then I scrapped the whole system and 
started all over again. If you notice in the package, it creates a symbolic 
link from /usr/local/lib/sasl to /usr/lib/sasl. That's not the issue. After 
some more investigation, I realized that the package installed the wrong 
symbolic links to the files that can't be dl_opened. It seems that there is 
a slight problem with the port.
/usr/local/lib/sasl/libplain.so was pointing to libplain.so.1.13 when the 
filename was libplain.so.1.14. Hehehehehe, that looks like a big problem. 
So, I fixed it, but now the syslog doesn't report anything and it still 
doesn't work....

I'm beating my head into a wall right now, if it doesn't work I'll simply 
install Debian because they have it packaged.
