Edwin, thanks. That looked like it might have worked. At least it didnt choke or anything. After the pkg_add it simply went on to the next line (I didnt get any "success" messages either...is this how pkg_add behaves?) Now how can I test it? how do I start the imap server? thanks, -guillermo PS.- I went to the directory /usr/local/libexec/courier-imap and tried to run imapd.rc but I get a bash: imapd.rc: command not found even though it is there and is an executable ls -laF shows -rwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel 1580 May 26 18:51 imapd.rc* Sorry about the newbie questions, I've looked around in newsgroups, but that is all I could find. thanks.
