RHBA-2004:388 - Bug Fix Advisory
Synopsis
Updated imap packages fix man pages
Type/Severity
Bug Fix Advisory
Topic
Updated imap packages that fix various man page errors are now available.
Description
The imap package provides server daemons for both the IMAP (Internet
Message Access Protocol) and POP (Post Office Protocol) mail access
protocols. The POP protocol uses a "post office" machine to collect
mail for users and allows users to download their mail to their local
machine for reading. The IMAP protocol allows a user to read mail on a
remote machine without downloading it to their local machine.
The imapd, ipop2d, and ipop3d man pages incorrectly listed the path to
these components as /usr/etc, when in fact they are located in /usr/sbin.
These updated packages correct this documentation error.
All users of imap should upgrade to these updated packages, which
resolve these issues.
