How to install
==============
Please see the INSTALL file in this directory.
Please see the INSTALL file in this directory for the generic instructions
on how to use configure. The following short summary describes the mailutils-
specific configuration options:
--enable-debug
Compile mailutils with debugging support. This disables compiler
optimizations and adds debugging information to the binaries.
--disable-pam
Do not build PAM support. By default configure will build PAM support
if the host system supports it. Use this option to suppress this
behaviour.
--disable-pthread
Do not build thread-safe libraries.
--enable-mysql
Enable support for authentication via MySQL. Note that depending
on how your MySQL system is installed, this may require adding
appropriate directories to the library and include paths, e.g.:
./configure LIBS='-L/usr/local/mysql/lib' \
CPPLAGS='-I/usr/local/mysql/include' --enable-mysql
--enable-virtual-domains
Enable support for authentication using virtual mail domains.
Note that this is also needed if you wish to run testsuites for
pop3d and imap4d daemons. The following option controls where
exactly the domain database should be located:
--with-virtual-pwddir=DIR
Use DIR instead of $sysconfdir/domain as the location of
virtual mail domain database.
--without-readline
Build 'mail' without readline support.
--with-gssapi
Enable GSSAPI authentication. For this to work, you will have
to have Kerberos V installed on your system.
--without-guile
Do not build guile interface library.
--with-mail-rc=FILE
Set the location of the system-wide configuration file for mail
utility. FILE must be an absolute filename specification. Default
is $sysconfdir/mail.rc
--with-mail-spool=PATH
Override the location of the mailspool. The default value depends
on the system. Usually it is either /var/spool/mail or /var/mail.
--with-gdbm
Use GDBM
--with-db2
Use Berkeley DB
--with-ndbm
Use NDBM
--with-dbm
Use old DBM
--with-log-facility=facility
Enable logging to the given syslog facility. Default is `mail'.
--without-included-regex
Don't compile regex; this is the default on systems with version
2 of the GNU C library (use with caution on other systems)

- support of mailspools in user home directory, particularly when
they are in maildir format (I think qmail does this).
- why do we do the uw-imapd thing of showing all files in the users
home as if they were a mailbox? I figure there should be an option to say
where your mail folder is, so that if you say
--mail-folder=~
it will be uw-imapd compatible, but if you say
--mail-folder=~/Mail
all your IMAP folders will be under ~/Mail.
Except mbox.
