You are right. I found a way to check new messages: $ sudo -u fmaster emacs /home/fmaster/maildir/new/<Message-Id>.boxname I've successfully received messages which were sent using the following commands: $ telnet localhost 25 ehlo localhost mail from: username@localhost rcpt to: fmaster@localhost data [cut] $ netcat boxname.example.com 25 ehlo example.com mail from: [email protected] rcpt to: [email protected] data [cut] This one also worked: $ netcat boxname.example.com 110 +OK Hello there. user fmaster +OK Password required. pass <my password> +OK Bye-bye. This one showed an ALERT: $ netcat boxname.example.com 143 a login fmaster <my password> a OK [ALERT] Filesystem notification initialization error -- contact your mail administrator (check for configuration errors with the FAM/Gamin library) a OK LOGIN Ok. a logout * BYE Courier-IMAP server shutting down I found a solution. [1] They suggest to install libgamin0. Do you suggest the same? So I finished the guide. [2] Does it mean that I'm ready to go? What is the next step? Should I install and configure a mail reader?
