Sorry, I still don't have a real solution.

But after serarching a little with google for "mandrake 
gss_nt_service_name", I found some people with the same problem when 
using other software which itself uses c-client:

So it may be worth a try to add the following to IMAPLFLAGS in the 
Makefile of the mailbox-plugin:

IMAPLFLAGS = ... -L/usr/kerberos/lib -lgssapi_krb5 -lkrb5 -lk5crypto 
-lcom_err

BTW: In my mail I didn't suggest to install a fresh os.

About a year ago I received a mail from a user of Mandrake 9.1 with 
exactly the same error message. He solved the problem by downloading the 
orginal sources of the c-client-library (from 
<http://www.washington.edu/imap> ) and compiling/ building the 
c-client-library from the sources.
