I have built sylpheed-claws from pkgsrc:

sylpheed-claws-2.5.5 X based e-mail and netnews client

It works fine with a POP host. When it did not connect to any IMAP
host I tried, I looked at the Makefile and noticed the configuration
was such as to not build against libetpan, which the package's home
page told me was required for IMAP. I made these changes in the
Makefile:

BUILDLINK_ABI_DEPENDS.libetpan+=        libetpan>=0.46

CONFIGURE_ARGS+=        --enable-libetpan

.include "../../mail/libetpan/buildlink3.mk"

The newly built package again connects fine to a POP host, but I
cannot, seemingly, coax it into IMAP operation by hook, crook or other
enticement..

Should I take the original Makefile's anti-IMAP bent, so to speak, as
a hint, that sylpheed-claws is not IMAP-ready?

(This is an oldish -current build: NetBSD poobah.legomenon.org 4.99.19
