I am sending e mails from php to postfix locally on my computer throw a application by using mail() PHP command, i can read the mails with the command:
nail -f /var/spool/mail/root
However i still not know if imap service is nessesary to read mails from squirrelmail on my computer locally...is ti nessesary??
How do i install imap on my computer if needed??
Squirrelmail only talks IMAP, yes. So you'd need a separate IMAP server (which has nothing to do with postfix, which is a MTA). I can recommend cyrus, but if you only have one account and one folder to check, it's probably way easier to setup uw-imapd instead. If you don't need a full fledged mail system on that PC and just an easy approach to read the mail, another solution would probably be to forward the mail to another mail server. -hwh
