Hello. I posted yesterday under the subject of "mkimap failure", but did not receive any responses. This is my first time posting to any group and if I have done something wrong, I apologize. Please let me know what it is so that I don't repeat it. Below is a more concise description of my problem. I would appreciate it if anyone would be kind enough to respond.
A quick suggestion - mkimap is a perl script, so you should be able to watch what it's doing at every step and see what's going on that way.
The strace output looks really strange - things look overlapped or mangled, but then I've never tried to trace a shell running a script and I'm far from an expert with strace.
It also looks a lot like mkimap expects to create /var/imap, so perhaps you should remove /var/imap and /var/spoool/imap to let it do it's thing?

print "creating $d...\n"; mkdir $d, 0755;
chdir $d or die "couldn't change to $d"; ----
