NAME

       bincimapd - IMAP4rev1 server


SYNOPSIS

       bincimap-up [ options... ] -- <authenticator> bincimapd


DESCRIPTION

       Binc IMAP is a simple xinetd / tcpserver invoked IMAP4rev1 server with
       support for Maildir.  It is very easy to install and use.

       To configure Binc IMAP, use either command line arguments,
       configuration file entries, or a combination of both.

       Note that command line arguments always override config file options.


OPTIONS

       Command line arguments are optional. The default behavior is to inherit
       options from bincimap-up through the environment. Passing arguments to
       bincimapd will override settings inherited from bincimap-up.

       bincimapd takes one optional unqualified argument in addition to
       regular command line options: the Mailbox path.  Appending a path as an
       option to bincimapd will override any mailbox path set by command line
       options or inherited from bincimap-up.

       For a complete listing of options for bincimapd, see the bincimap-up
       man page.

       Local options are read through the file .bincimap, located at the
       current working directory that bincimapd is invoked in, before it
       enters the depository path.


FILES

       All Binc IMAP's configuration files use the same Binc::Storage format.
       It's basically a sequence of named sections enclosed in {braces}, each
       containing a set of comma separated key=value pairs. The keys must be
       alphanumeric, and the values can contain any character if it's quoted.

       $HOME/.bincimap
              Local configurations file. This file has a similar structure to
              the global bincimap.conf file, and it can be set by each user to
              override both command line arguments and the global
              configuration. It only works for a few selected options, though.

       $HOME/<maildepot>/.../bincimap-uidvalidity
              This file contains a version number, and the UIDNEXT and
              UIDVALIDITY values for the given mailbox.

       $HOME/<maildepot>/.../bincimap-cache
              This file contains a version number, and it stores the UID
              values for each message, along with (optionally) some cached
              information.


ENVIRONMENT

       bincimapd reads its configuration from the environment, as passed by
       bincimap-up. In addition, bincimapd reads the variable BINCIMAP_LOGIN
       which contains a message from bincimap-up with the tag and command used
       to authenticate, separated by a +. If the tag and command used to
       authenticate were "1 LOGIN", then BINCIMAP_LOGIN would be set to
       "LOGIN+1".

       Note that it is essential that the authenticator invoked by bincimap-up
       does not clear the environment.
