NAME
     bincimapd - IMAP4rev1 server

SYNOPSIS
     bincimap-up [ options... ] -- <authenticator> bincimapd

DESCRIPTION
     Binc IMAP is a simple xinetd / tcpserver invoked IMAP4rev1 server with sup-
     port for Maildir.	It is very easy to install and use.

     To  configure  Binc  IMAP, use either command line arguments, configuration
     file entries, or a combination of both.

     Note that command line arguments always override config file options.

OPTIONS
     Command line arguments are optional. The default behavior is to inherit op-
     tions from  bincimap-up  through  the  environment.  Passing  arguments  to
     bincimapd will override settings inherited from bincimap-up.

     bincimapd	takes  one  optional unqualified argument in addition to regular
     command line options: the Mailbox path.  Appending a path as an  option  to
     bincimapd will override any mailbox path set by command line options or in-
     herited from bincimap-up.

     For  a  complete  listing of options for bincimapd, see the bincimap-up man
     page.

     Local options are read through the file .bincimap, located at  the  current
     working directory that bincimapd is invoked in, before it enters the depos-
     itory path.

FILES
     All Binc IMAP's configuration files use the same Binc::Storage format. It's
     basically	a sequence of named sections enclosed in {braces}, each contain-
     ing a set of comma separated key=value pairs. The	keys  must  be	alphanu-
     meric, and the values can contain any character if it's quoted.

     $HOME/.bincimap
	    Local  configurations file. This file has a similar structure to the
	    global bincimap.conf file, and it can be set by each user  to  over-
	    ride  both	command  line arguments and the global configuration. It
	    only works for a few selected options, though.

     $HOME/<maildepot>/.../bincimap-uidvalidity
	    This file contains a version number, and the UIDNEXT and UIDVALIDITY
	    values for the given mailbox.

     $HOME/<maildepot>/.../bincimap-cache
	    This file contains a version number, and it stores	the  UID  values
	    for each message, along with (optionally) some cached information.

ENVIRONMENT
     bincimapd	reads  its  configuration  from  the  environment,  as passed by
     bincimap-up. In addition, bincimapd reads the variable BINCIMAP_LOGIN which
     contains a message from bincimap-up with the tag and command  used  to  au-
     thenticate,  separated  by a +. If the tag and command used to authenticate
     were "1 LOGIN", then BINCIMAP_LOGIN would be set to "LOGIN+1".

     Note that it is essential that the  authenticator	invoked  by  bincimap-up
     does not clear the environment.
