FC2 - I selected imap but it's not there!

[jimwillsher]

Hi all,

I'm currently running RH9 but I'm looking at Fedora.

I've installed FC2 as a new install. I chose imap, sendmail etc, but I can't login to squirrelmail:

Error connecting to IMAP server: localhost.
111 : Connection refused

Running "rpm -qa | grep -i imap" returns no results.

What have I done wrong? :confused:

Many thanks,


Jim

You can do a yum search imap to see what imap package can be install. you will also need turn on imap with xinetd.

/sbin/service dovecot start

Thanks guys, I'll try this tonight when I get home.

Dovecot, of course. That's so obvious ;)



Jim

PS Could somebody tell me how to start dovecot automatically via xinet? I'm very new to Fedora (like, a couple of hours !)

[jimwillsher]

[root@arachnid root]# /sbin/service dovecot start
dovecot: unrecognized service

Now what do I do? I definitely installed it!

can you see in /etc/inet.d/ a file called dovecot or imap or squirrelmail or something like this ???

He hangs his head in shame, and confesses to mysteriously unticking the box during install....

dovecot now running... :o


Sorry guys, I'm a numpty. But thanks for all your help, I needed it!

In RH9, FC1, imap is the imap/pop3 package.
In FC2, dovecot is the impa/pop3 protocol package. Download dovecot package and install it. Edit the file "/etc/dovecot.conf" to select which protocols you want.

I'm confused as to whether or not you are supposed to uncomment the lines or not??

Says so in plain english that you're not, but how is this supposed to work when they're commented out????

You'll see something like protocols imap imaps

Just add pop and pops to the end of the imap and imaps in the same fasion
