hi all,

i have been asking questions ,but i could not get any
responses.

I am trying to install courier imap srever on linux
system.

i have read the documentation but i have some problems
.please can anyone help me.

i have downloaded courier imap and i have kept in my
university account where a student doesnot have
administrative permissions.

to compile and install the server i have followed the
rules given in documentation. that is

$ ./configure 
$ make

then i did not understand what does $ make check and
$make install do.

as said in the documentation if installation is
successful, then there exists /usr/lib/courier-imap
directory. but as i said i dont have permission to
write into lib. so i have used the option for
configure,
that is --prefix= ../imap/ .

then i could see some directories in ../imap/ like 
bin/  etc/ libexec/ man/ sbin/ share/ var/

also the documentation says to use the following
command to start server
$/usr/lib/courier-imap/libexec/imapd.rc start
but i dont have any directory in /usr/lib like
courier-imap.
but i could able to see the file imap.rc in
../imap/libexec/imapd.rc
but if i run the above command ,it says the command
not found.

can anyone p-lease help me or give me suggestions
where i am doing wrong and what exactly i have to do.

Thanks and regards
aravind
