Elfyn,

	we're getting closer....you need to ensure that your imap account
has a password in /etc/passwd.

	Use 'crypt <first 2 letters of the users password> <password' but
without the <> or ' for example crypt hl hlopnert will print an encrypted
password to stdout.  Put this in /etc/passwd for the user who will have an
IMAP account (it should go in the password field imediately following the
user name field.

	This should allow you to authenticate.

	My problem now is that the majority of my mail folders seem to be
inaccesible to me (although they are there).  Also imap appears to generate
a lot of messages in the application log filling it very quickly.

	Any ideas?

Jim
