Hi.
I must be blind. I feel certain this topic must have been bashed to
death by many in the past - but after several hours I just can't seem
to see the forest for the trees :(
I run QMail and vpopmail with virtual domains in /home/vpopmail/domains
I want to get courier-imap running so I can use Squirrel Mail and also
have the benefits IMAP offers over POP3.
I've followed several general 'how to install IMAP' paths and all seem
to result in funtioning IMAP server on port 143 allowing authentication
via vchkpw - HOWEVER...
I telnet to localhost 143 and enter a login line for an account in my
vpopmail virtual domains. That works fine. Specifically: "1 login
[EMAIL PROTECTED] <password>[enter]"
(/home/vpopmail/domains/cybermedix.co.nz/mail/Maildir exists and is all
working fine with QMail and POP3 etc.)
BUT... when I then type "2 select inbox[enter]" (or INBOX) imapd just
closes the telnet connection with the following message:
* BYE [ALERT] Fatal Error: No such file or directory
There is no entry made at this point in /var/log/mail (the login event
is there) so I have no idea what file or directory imapd was attempting
to locate. I can not find anything anywhere about how to get more
debugging information out of imapd - so I'm stumped :'(
Any clues anyone? Just point me to a document or something - I'm more
than happy to put in the time and do the grunt research - I just seem to
have hit a dead end at present <sigh>.
I'm assuming one thing - "I must be wrong in my assumption that vchkpw
supplies the directory information (home dir) to imapd after logging in
the way pam_unix does for shell logins." - though I'm beggared if I can
see how in the world imapd finds out where my Maildir is any other way.
No doubt this is key to the trouble I'm having!
Thanks.
Bryan.
