Hi folks,
New R. convert here 
I’m using the standard Net::IMAP and OpenSSL libraries to connect to
an IMAP server.
I can connect, examine and manipulate my INBOX, but when call the
disconnect method of the imap instance it just hangs. The minimal
version is almost identical to
the example on page 701 of “Programming Ruby”. Should I be calling
some other method?
require ‘net/imap’
require ‘openssl’
server, login, password = ‘imap.server’,‘my_login’,‘my_password’
imap = Net::IMAP::new(server, 993, true)
imap.login(login,password)
imap.examine(‘INBOX’)
puts “Message count: #{ imap.responses[“EXISTS”]}”
imap.search([“To”, “Me”]).each do |message_id|
envelope = imap.fetch(message_id, “ENVELOPE”)[0].attr[“ENVELOPE”]
puts “#{envelope.from[0].name}: \t#{envelope.subject}”
end
imap.disconnect
Regards,
Bealach

I don’t know, the disconnect method is suspect:
# Disconnects from the server.
def disconnect
@sock.shutdown unless @usessl
@receiver_thread.join
@sock.close
end

I cannot replicate the problem with my imap4 server.
I’ve not set up my own IMAP server to test this, but I just might.
Sadly, that will not solve the problem for since I do not have admin
access to the IMAP server I’m experiencing problems with
(incidentally, that too is an IMAP 4 server).

Did you use SSL?
I have Dovecot.

Is your code anything like what I posted (quoting from “Programming
Ruby”)? I’ve tried that code in Debian, WinXP pro (SP2) and Win2003
all with ruby 1.8.4 and all of them hang at exactly the same place.
Can you post some example code if it’s different to what I posted.

I have Dovecot.
I used SSL and I tried it on Gentoo Linux and Windows. […]
This problem has nothing to do with SSL on the client side.
But I digress, on both platforms, I got the exact same lack of a
problem.
What mail server are you using?

I used SSL and I tried it on Gentoo Linux and Windows. The Windows is
all my own compiling as I am using the Intel C++ compiler to compile
everything (which of course causes me problems with some
gems/addons/libraries as they are precompiled for Windows and do not
include nmake makefile or VS project files and then I have to TRY to
manually make a makefile for them)
But I digress, on both platforms, I got the exact same lack of a
problem.

I used the same code, but did you use the same IMAP server for all of
your tests? (I did for mine, but of course it worked for me.)

Could you find out? It’ll help track down where the bug really is.
I teleneted to port 143 and 993 (I have a special perl SSL telnet
program for testing SSL ports) and It just says IMAP4rev1
dovecot says:
$ openssl s_client -connect mail.robotcoop.com:imaps
CONNECTED(00000004)
[openssl output]
- OK Dovecot ready.
