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,
Local as your machine you are using or local area network?
Local as my machine.
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.
So this says it is machine you are using?
Yes.
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.
If it is your machine you are using try using its actual IP address.
| did try 127.0.0.1, and it did not work. Otherwise I might not have an IP address, as I'm not connected to any network.
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).
If you have specified a specific interface through dovecot.conf, change it too imap_listen = *
Well, I'm able to login using "telnet localhost 143", so I guess this is not really the problem. Somehow Apple Mail is convinced that it cannot connect to localhost.
Thanks for the suggestions.
