Hello,
Sorry for the offtopic subject, but I tried asking this on some Apple mailing lists and could not find an answer there, and as it's related to imap (provided by dovecot), someone might know something about this.
The problem is the following: I have a local IMAP server provided by dovecot, so that I can store my mail in maildir format, and read it both using mutt and Apple Mail.app. Mail.app is configured to access localhost:143 to access mail. However, I discovered that when there is no network connection (no ethernet cable plugged in and no wifi network), Mail.app is saying that it's working in disconnected mode and refuses to access the imap server.
Would someone have a suggestion as to what to do to allow connected access to localhost when no network is present? I'm very new to OS X (I come from Linux).
Thanks a lot,
Alan Schmitt
