More information, I've managed to get the IMAP box connceted now, but the pop one still refuses. I've added the pop3s entry to xinetd but still no connection. Thanks. Peter. On Sat, 24 May 2003 02:44 pm, Peter Nunn wrote:
Marshall PMFJI, but I'm having similar problems here and am not getting anywhere fast.
I've managed to get the mail working fine from my various Linux box 's using the /etc/cram-mb5 file etc, but I simply can't get the M$ box's to work at all (I've one I need pop access for and the other IMAP).
Don't suppose you can tell me what settings I should be using (do I need to have the secure ports being monitored for example (and if so, how)).
I've tried all combinations of Secure Password Authentication and server requires SSL connection, but still no go I'm afraid.
Thanks in advance.

No luck locating this article. I found one for imap on SDB, and I've done this but it doesn't work.
Here is the anwser that I got. Try this. Put the fole that is to be created on the emil server.
Well, first, your email client must be able to do CRAM-MD5 passwords. I imagine yours does, but you'll probably have to specify the change. By default, the imap-2002 server is looking for a file /etc/cram-md5.pwd. All you need to do is put your usernames and passwords in this file like so:
<username><tab><password>
This is all in /usr/share/doc/packages/imap/md5.txt, but it might be a little overwhelming if you've never dealt with this before. Like that file says, the downside is that now you need to replicate your passwords in this file for everyone you want to give POP or IMAP access to.
If it works for you, I do not get the credit for figuring it out. David Krider does. He was the one who anwsered my question.
Good Luck
