hi,
Actually, I believe squirrelmail just depends on an imap server.afair squirrelmail depends on Maildir-format mailboxes
if you really want to use the UW-imap (i don't, i'm happily using
courier-imap and squirrelmail since years), then try a webmail solution
that works with mbox-format, i think neomail and openwebmail are some
alternatives
first i thought you were right, and i though i'm some years behind (i read that squirrelmail depended on imap some years ago), maybe squirrelmail has changed,
i looked up the requirements on the squirrelmail-page and saw that you were right, uw-imap is in the list of required imap-servers, however, i just read that uw-imap can do imap, and ...
i know that converting mbox to maildir can be a lot of work, but if i were you i would test with a mbox-based webmail-solution, or... simply try the imap directly with a mailclient which supports imap and/or imap-ssl
I don't think it cares what (imap-uw is supported). My issue resides with the plain-text password issue. As per instructions, I've recompiled imap-uw to allow plain-text, or so I thought, and I still get the errors. I followed these instructions: http://www.squirrelmail.org/wiki/en_US/UWLoginDisabled and I'm concerned with these messages in /var/log/auth.log:
Jan 14 20:15:20 grog imapd[19134]: Login disabled user=user auth=user host=localhost [127.0.0.1]
i have no idea, but i know one thing for sure, the error-message is -not - always showing the exact error
error-messages are limited to what the programmer(s) made it to act like
for example, i'm setting up a ftp-server, and in a bootup-script i had
chmod 700 /home/ and i set /home/ftp to be the ftp-server base-dir
from the log-files i could not find out that the permissions where wrong, it simply showed login-errors, and gave time-outs
do you get my point ? i'm trying to say that perhaps squirrelmail still demands a maildir-based imap-server (i don't know whether that's true, google could not give me an answer to that within a reasonable time)
anyway, i hope you get it working soonish!
good luck!
ciao, albi
Actually, I know the error is correct. Actually, I know what I need to do to fix this problem, it's just not working for me... I've posted a couple links that direct me in various ways regarding this error, but my server won't accept plain-text logins. Can't figure out how to get it to do so.
