RE: [cobalt-users] Disabling IMAP

["Loryan Strant" <cobalt-users@xxxxxxxxxx>]

I've tried that fix, but somehow it keeps setting the state back to "on",
and it's pissing me off!

Any ideas?

Yes, it's the only way. (that I know of)

The active monitor is sometimes (sometimes? :)) very stupid by it's
annoyance.
There is an option to stop him from that behaviour, but, about once a
month, he'll change that config file again, and the monitor will bug you
again.

If that fits your needs, login as admin, su to root
then do
cd /etc/cobalt/swatch/services
pico imap

<now an editor will open>

go to the line:

state = on

change it to:

state = off

do ctrl+x -> y -> enter

on the next active monitor refresh (within 15 minutes) - active monitor
would should the imap services with "No info" next to it.

hope this helps :-)
