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

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 !)

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????
