Hi All,

I just installed Dovecot-Imap because uw-imap is awful... and Dovecot seems like a good Imap Server.

Anyway I am using a Debian Server and apt-get install dovecot Seems to be working... I can telnet to port 143 and run /var/run/dovecot/login

However SquirrelMail Config test cannot detect if, If anyone knows a guide to make Dovecot work with SquirrelMail please let me know...

THis is quite urgent matter and need to fix this ASAP! Thanks! Mark Smith

Which version of Dovecot?

Have you run Squirrelmail's conf.pl? You could chose "other" or "uw" (but if the latter, you'll probably need to modify the folder prefix).

Hey, Somenoe gave me this link: http://www.squirrelmail.org/wiki/en_US/SquirrelMailAndDovecotIMAP

I followed it and completed it... so I assume SquirrelMail should work... I am recieving an issue trying to connect to the IMap server in squirrelmail.

Firstly I recieve no response when starting dovecot

aries:/var/www/mail/config# /etc/init.d/dovecot start aries:/var/www/mail/config#

Which is odd...

I can telnet to it: aries:/var/www/mail/config# telnet localhost 143 Trying 127.0.0.1... Connected to localhost.localdomain. Escape character is '^]'.

I have installed previous Imap Servers could that be it? How can I check if port 143 is being used by another imap server?

Regards, Quoting admin@downend.org:

There's something listening on 143. Run the following as root:

netstat -ltnp | grep ':143'

to see which process it is.

The Output I recieve is;

Well, looks like your cyrus installation still thinks it is responsible for imap..

It appears so..

aries:/etc/init.d# pidof cyrmaster 19595 14454

Should I kill those processses... or do i need to comment out a config file first?

No idea. Read the cyrus configuration (or uninstall it if you don't want it at all).

It's a wiki, and the two links are two different users' experiences.

I like (as root) "lsof -i" to list all open files that are IPv4 sockets, and then grep the result for the port of interest (eg. "| grep imap", which assumes that imap is defined in /etc/services).
