I'm trying to get an IMAP server running, and it seems my only option
today is uw-imapd. The cygwin package for that is installed, and I
created an 'imap' file under xinetd.d with the following:
# default: off
# description: The IMAP service allows remote users to access their mail
using \
# an IMAP client such as Mutt, Pine, fetchmail, or Netscape \
# Communicator.
service imap
{
socket_type = stream
wait = no
user = root
server = /usr/sbin/imapd
log_on_success += HOST DURATION
log_on_failure += HOST
disable = no
}
But I cannot make any connection to localhost:143 (nothing listening). I
can connect to the other xinetd services fine (ftp), just not this one,
and I've checked that 'imap' was in /etc/services. I've done a ton of
searching to get where I am, but now I'm at a dead end. Any ideas?
Another thing...how easy is it to configure UW-IMAP? From what I've
read, it seems that *everything* is configured in the source or Makefile
(no conf files, etc.). And if I'm not mistaken, UW-IMAP does not
directly support Cygwin, and had to be ported over. However,
/usr/share/doc/Cygwin/uw-imap-2002e.README says the author (Abraham
Backus) further modified it from what's on
http://sourceforge.net/projects/uw-imap-cygwin/, so what exactly should
I be modifying? The canonical homepage just points to the original
UW-IMAP site. I looked for but didn't find any personal website of
Abraham Backus.
Please let me know if any further info is needed. Thanks in advance!
