    IMAP Log File Setup

    The log is written over every time you re-launch Communicator for all the following platforms:
     

    • Windows 95/98 :
      • Create "c:\tmp" for IMAP log file reside if there is no such directory
      • Insert the following line into your autoexec.bat file:

        • Set NSPR_LOG_MODULES=IMAP:5
        Set NSPR_LOG_FILE=c:\tmp\[filename]
        (filename can be defined by you)
      • Reboot your system
    •  WinNT:
      • Create "c:\tmp" for IMAP log file reside if there is no such directory
      • Use the control panel | System | Environment tool to set the PRLOG env variable:

        • Varibles: NSPR_LOG_MODULES  Value: IMAP:5
        Varibles: NSPR_LOG_FILE  Value: c:\tmp\[filename]
        (filename can be defined by you)
      • Reboot your system
         
    • Unix:
        •  
      • Add a line to  ~/.cshrc file of the csh shell as following:

        • Set NSPR_LOG_MODULES IMAP:5
        Set NSPR_LOG_FILE /u/[unix userlogin]/tmp/[filename]
        (filename can be defined by you)
         
      • Add a line to  ~/.bashrc file of the csh shell as following:

        • NSPR_LOG_MODULES="IMAP:5"
        NSPR_LOG_FILE="/u/[unix userlogin]/tmp/[filename]
        export NSPR_LOG_MODULES
        export NSPR_LOG_FILE
        (filename can be defined by you)

        Please Note: /u/[unix userlogin] is just Netscape setup UNIX environment for each user.
        It could be /home/[unix userlogin] or  /[unix userlogin] depend on how your users environment setup.
         
         

    •  Mac:
      • Create a text file that contains the following lines in a text editor (ex: BBEdit)

        • After save this file, drag and drop this file on the Netscape/Mozilla application icon, the log file will be created from the seamonkey folder.
        ARGS:-mail
        ENV:NSPR_LOG_MODULES=IMAP:5
        ENV:NSPR_LOG_FILE=[filename]


    IMAP Interoperability Test:
    Please Note: SUN Microsystems covered SIMS4.0 / IMS 5.0 IMAP Interoperability Tests already
    *Green text means adding feature/functionality for *Netscape 6.01 / Netscape 6.5
    *Red text mostly means Negative test scenarios or more Important test
    *Blue text mostly means Need more Investigation or Pay more Attention on those issues.
