Hello,
Such a connection might be useful if the imap server expected to
have the client running locally. I think the UW Imap server does that,
but I'm only guessing. As others have already pointed out, doing it
with Cyrus is not only a bad idea, it probably won't work.
Regards,
Earl Shannon

All,
Evolution has an option to remotely connect to an imap server that you
otherwise
can not connect to by using means such as ssh. It allows a "custom
command" to
connect to the imap server. The default is:
"ssh -C -l %u %h exec /usr/sbin/imapd"
Don't even think about running imapd by hand, only cyrus master can do it.
It simply won't work.

Why would you want to do that instead of using IMAP SSL (or TLS)?
Cyrus servers are ment not to be accessible by ordinary users (ie. more
secure to local attacks).
