Re: [cobalt-users] [RaQ3] (still) Strange IMAP problem

[Cobalt <cobalt@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Additionally, in case it helps,

I copied the linked file right to the destination where the symlink is and
removed the symlink.

Same problem..

gnaarrrzz!

I now think that this new IMAP is odd. Is there any way to remove the new
pkg file and restore the old one?

Thanks in advance,

Hendrik.
