Marvin, You may do like this
# adduser <user> -s /sbin/nologin # passwd <user> ...... make sure /etc/courier/imapd contain DEBUG_LOGIN=2 Then you may watch /var/log/maillog to see if a correct username is enterred. If you do not find the problem I guess you need to post extract from the /var/log/maillog and the /etc/courier/imapd file to this list. /Lars ----- Original Message ----- From: "mpierce" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "Lars Holmstr�m" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Cc: "Courier IMAP" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Monday, June 09, 2003 10:54 PM Subject: Re: [courier-users] Newbie IMAP ? Lars, Thanks for reply. I'm frankly lost here. Like another user post from this morning, I've read thru docs and have not found how to configure this thing. My server is a carbon copy of what worked on my laptop so user mail accounts setup that is exim, procmail, fetchmail, etc. all work and will retrieve my mail from 4 accounts. Where do I setup accounts for Courier to read, i.e., username and password for authentication. If I setup an IMAP account in my mail client, it fails with password authentication.
