9 years ago Vmail requires vim to be compiled with the +clientserver flag. Some linux distributions and OSx do not install vim with this flag. Check https://github.com/danchoi/vmail/issues/173 for more details.

9 years ago Hi Alex
Got it thanks very much for you quick response and solution.
I didn't realize (didn't look far enough down the page of issues to notice that it had been raised before) my version of vim needed the clientserver flag. I use PCLinuxOs and it's version of vim isn't compiled with this flag set. I tried putting 'export VMAIL_VIM=gvim' in my bash_profile and it worked, but I wanted it to work in a terminal. So I've changed this to 'export VMAIL_VIM=vimx' and it now works nicely in a terminal.
What do I do now with the issue report that I filed (I've never done one before)?
Thanks again.

Since I updated Vmail to version 2.9.3 yesterday, I haven't been able to load and use it as it crashes out with the comment:
Unknown option argument: "--servername".
The last few lines output from vmail are:
vim --servername VMAIL:grahameblackwood@gmail.com -S /home/grahame/.rvm/gems/ruby-1.9.2-p180/gems/vmail-2.9.3/lib/vmail. vim -c '' vmailbuffer Using buffer file: vmailbuffer VIM - Vi IMproved 7.3 (2010 Aug 15, compiled Aug 22 2013 09:54:35) Unknown option argument: "--servername" More info with: "vim -h" Closing imap connection Bye
And the tail of the vmail.log reads:

Hope there is a simple adjustment to allow Vmail to launch as it did until yesterday.
Cheers
