I just recently installed 4.9 on a fresh server. I was also
installing squirrelmail 1.41 from the ports directory and also imap-uw
(imap4rev1). I pointed my virtual server to the squirrelmail
directory. I can get the login prompt, but when I login with a
username and password, I receive an error message that says unknown
user or incorrect password. On my console, it tells me the login
has been disabled with whatever username I use and auth=username
and host=127.0.0.1. It prefaces the error with imapd[151].
I looked at the pkg-message in imap-uw and it says that by default
imap will not accept unencrypted logins. Since this is just a test
server, I dont mind using unencrypted logins, but I dont know how to
install it so it will work without them. Or, I am not certain of
what I need to do in order for it work with encrypted logins. I
looked at both the squirrelmail site and washington.edu's site on
imap, but I dont really see the solution. It is probably something
very simple that I am missing or that I am doing incorrectly. Still,
any light someone may be able to shed on this or to point me in th
right direction would be greatly appreciated.
If you read right to the end of /usr/ports/mail/imap-uw/pkg-message you
should have seen this:
=== NB: IMAP-UW now rejects non-encrypted logins by default. To change this
=== behaviour, recompile and reinstall cclient and imap-uw ports with one of

WITHOUT_SSL - build without SSL/encryption support.
WITH_SSL_AND_PLAINTEXT - build with SSL/encryption support, but allow
non-encrypted logins.
So the answer is that you need to rebuild/reinstall the cclient and imap-uw
ports with either '-DWITHOUT_SSL' or '-DWITH_SSL_AND_PLAINTEXT' on the make
command line. I believe either of these will give you a server that will
accept plaintext logins, but I don't have my notes from when I did this to
check for sure. At least one of them should work, anyway.
