I'm trying to switch to IMAP using Eudora 6. From looking at the web it seems I should put in mail/ in the IMAP Mailbox Location Prefix.
I have tried mail.mydomain.com, mail/mydomain.com, inbox, the name of the personaility all to no avail.
I keep getting a IMAP error. Please help.

Does INBOX. or INBOX work?

Sadly, Not. But putting INBOX. gave me the message fetching ... before giving me the failed error, while INBOX just gave me that error instantly.

>I keep getting a IMAP error.

What does the error say?

You might compare against the stuff here, even though it's for version 5, and see if you notice anything.

Good luck,

Thank you. That did help. My your path through life be smooth.

I had the box, Secure Sockets when receiving(default) set to If Available Start TTLS. I changed it to "never" as indicated. But what does this mean to the security of my email?

Here is what the error message was about:
A progress message pops up and says fetching list from server mail.mydomain.com

And then I got the message "The IMAP command has failed"

Any time. :-)

I forgot to mention, that reference came from DreamHost's Knowledge Base, which had that link from one of the tips.

Cheers,
