Re: [Dovecot] Dovecot & SquirrelMail
Update On the Following: Hey Everyone got some good news and some wierd things...
Firstly, netstat -ltnp | grep ':143' -- does not show an output telnet localhost 143 -- Cannot Connect
Secondly, I have no firewall installed.
Thirdly, If I type "mail" as the user in SSH I can read my mail and I can send mail from other servers... which is strange considering it cannot connect
Fourthly, /etc/init.d/dovecot start (Just start) -- Does not show an output. pidof dovecot -- Does not state a process for dovecot
Any ideas what I should do... or anyone knows the reason. I checked mail.err and comes up with the following: Aug 14 07:15:04 aries imap-login: Can't load private key file /etc/ssl/private/dovecot.pe..................
and of course because of the above SquirrelMail cannot detect the Dovecot Imap Server.
I would appreciate some step to step guidience as it is getting important. I also appreciate the people who have helped me and thank you for not being cocky... or big headed...
Once dovecot is running I won't be touching it for a very long time :) Regards, Mark Smith

Hi I am back thought I should start a new mail... since i lost track of previous. Anyways,
Does Dovecot require courier-authdaemon or whatever it is called to run? When running the following i recieve the following output should I kill inet from 143 or not.
aries:/etc/init.d# netstat -ltnp | grep ':143' tcp 0 0 0.0.0.0:143 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN 24715/inetd
more than likely, you should check in your distribution's inetd.conf (under xinetd, normally /etc/xinetd.d/ is where configurations are kept) and remove any reference to an imap server in there since you're not launching dovecot from inetd... you should be seeing errors like "unable to bind to port" in your syslog coming from dovecot.. (i personally don't use inetd for launching things... but to each their own)
hope this helps
I am recieving the same response with the dovecot init file:
aries:/etc/init.d# /etc/init.d/dovecot aries:/etc/init.d# /etc/init.d/dovecot
aries:/etc/init.d# /etc/init.d/dovecot restart aries:/etc/init.d#
There is no output possible because of inet? Any Help will be great! Thanks!

OK, first try looking at /var/log/maillog (assuming that is your dovecot logging file) and see if there are any errors, second make sure you have something along the lines of "protocols = imap" in your dovecot.conf file (it is usually near the top). If you are using IMAPS (SSL IMAP) it runs on a different port (can't remember what it is off the top of my head).

default it's 993 for imap-ssl and 995 for pop3-ssl
Thanks for the Help dovecot is now working... Just one issue with autentication...
I received: Unknown user or password incorrect.
When logging into SquirrelMail now is it because both login and password authentication is /etc/passwd and one of them should be /etc/shadow
Or is it the SquirrelMail Config...

If you're using shadow passwords, then yes, the passdb should be set to /etc/shadow and the userdb to /etc/passwd.
