I am annoyed, hear me roar!
I've spent a good two hours trying to force UW-IMAP to work properly, thanks to it's goshdarned insistence that it's not going to accept plaintext passwords any more (thank you SuSE...). Never mind that I'm on an internal network here and ain't worried about sending my password whizzing about internally.
Seriously, I think having to create your own certificates and enable imaps is going beyond the user friendly mark and making me realise why Linux is never going to reach the masses in it's current form.
*and relax*
I have had a fairly stressful day at work, not helped by the call that came through with the big red popup box marked "T-Mobile Internal Security Call", argh! What to do? Panic? No, no, follow procedure. Hmm. OK, this woman't query doesn't have a procedure. She's a big up boss and wants something, a t/m says to do it but make her aware it's on her head. Get Nicole to send away an email to SSR just to be sure.
10 minutes later, get an email back from them saying "NO, DON'T DO IT!", after I'd already done it, argle!
*panic*
And relax...
I think I've got my own little internal network all sorted back out again, thanks be. Mail is the big thing, everything else can be sorted in a slower timeframe. NFS is being played with, wish me luck :)
