[gentoo-user] Can't login on Courier-imap server
I have installed Courier-imap on my server and I'm trying to test it, which is not going that well... When I try to telnet in to it I can connect but I can't log in. Am I using the right commands when I test? This is the output from telnet telnet 127.0.0.1 imap Trying 127.0.0.1... Connected to 127.0.0.1. Escape character is '^]'. * OK [CAPABILITY IMAP4rev1 UIDPLUS CHILDREN NAMESPACE THREAD=ORDEREDSUBJECT THREAD=REFERENCES SORT QUOTA IDLE ACL ACL2=UNION STARTTLS] Courier-IMAP ready.

You need to prefix the command by a sequence that identifies the query. Also, you need to pass a password to the login command. So what you should have issued is 01 LOGIN user password.

When I try to telnet in to it I can connect but I can't log in. Am I using the right commands when I test? Yes, but you are using the wrong format. All IMAP commands and responses are prefixed by a 4-character string and a space. This way a command can have multiple responses and multiple commands can be sent before the response for the first is received. (The client matches responses to commands based on matching prefixes.) So, you'll probably want your first line to be something like: login your_username -- Boyd Stephen Smith Jr. ,= ,-_-. =.
