Modification for use with Tiger
Authored by: tinker on May 26, '05 11:42:15PM
OK, so I have to say, I felt just lovely after installing Tiger and discovering that it breaks this hint. It seems (??) to install some new files over the ones that are created above.

The solution that I discovered was to go through and re-do the original procedure, verbatim (excluding even the minor modifications that I made to the curl command above), except for the last line:

sudo kill -HUP `cat /var/run/xinetd.pid`

no longer kills the xinetd procedure. I'm sure there's a succinct way to do it, but I just typed in ps -axe, looked for the xinetd procedure, and used sudo kill -9 xxxx (where xxxx is the number of the procedure) to kill it.

The silver lining is that you get a shiny new copy of imapd on your server.

My preemptive apologies to anyone who spent significant amounts of time figuring this out before coming here. I'm afraid Apple never informed me of their plans. :-)
