Hi Mark,

I removed the fink version of OpenSSL.
Installed the MP version 0.9.8e.
And now I have installed imapsync successfully.

I initially searched the darwinports site for openssl but didn't find 
it, which is why I went the fink route.

I think a dependency imapsync for openssl is required.

Also think the error message for a serious problem like a required 
module being missing such as this should generate an error.  Personally 
I don't think I should have turn on "verbose" to see a critical error 
like that.

Thank you very much for you assistance.

Cheers,

Likkie.
