Hi, I am running qmail and I would like a secure imap access to my mail 
server.

I have installed Openssh then courrier imap by simply running ./configure 
without arguments. The documentation states that theconfigure scrip should 
take care of thee ssl portion if ssl is installed.
I then linked the imapd-ssl.rc to start automatically. I allowed connection 
through my firewall.

running nmap 192.168.1.3 gives:
Port       State       Service
25/tcp     open        smtp
993/tcp    open        imaps

So the service seems to be there. If telnet to the port I get the 
recognizable "escape char is ...." for ssl.

I use Kmail as MUA and I receive my mail directly from qmail to ~/Maildir. 
If I disable the normal Maildir receiver an add an imap receiver, I don't 
get anything at all.

when setting up the imap receiver in Kmail, I give the local adress 
192.168.1.3 and 993 port. It set the receiver so it will use ssl for the 
download. it then ask for an authentication method. I am a bit lost here, 
I'd like to get the most secure option. Also note that, in my 
imapd-ssl.rc, LIBAUTHMODULES="". I tried with LIBAUTHMODULES="authshadow 
authpwd" but it didn't work better

I get the error message "can't connect to 192.168.1.3"

please point me in some direction.

Nadim
