I found Qmail + Courrier-IMAP howto at www.linuxdoc.com ... I think you need to get the Qmail + patches at http://em.ca/~bruceg/qmail+patches/ .
 
I am having problems getting an RPM from the .src.rpm, though. I do a rpm --rebuild filename and instead of giving me an RPM in the /usr/src/redhat/.../RPMS directory I get code that looks like it needs to be compiled. This is not what I expected to happen and I can't figure out what to do from here. I don't see instructions on how to install it (at least ones that I understand).
 
I want to get IMAP working, too. Let me rephrase that, I NEED to get it working. I have spent literally 30 hours in 4 days just reading the documentation and trying to get things working. At one point I had POP3 up and working fine with Qmail but then found out IMAP was needed and decided to start over. So this is both a post to help you, I think that site contains the crown jewel, but I don't know how to install it! Perhaps someone can help both of us...

Subject: qmail email server

I'm trying to setup Qmail as an email server that My local clients can login to, read and reply to email without downloading it (IMAP?). I setup qmail+tcpserver+daemon tools via the docs I found on www.linuxdoc.org. But even "adding" a user didn't seem to work. I can't authenticate to it.
 
Can someone point me in the right direction on how to set this up. I can't seem to find any concise documentation on setting up an email server like this.
 
One other note is I believe I'm close. Qmail does send out email if I login to the box itself and use the mail command. I can specify any email address/domain I want and qmail does correctly deliver it.
 
I want to be able to connect to the server from a windoze machine with outlook express and read and reply to email.
 
My next step is I do want to get POP3 working on there. Do I use qpop3d?
 
Thanks!
Robert
