I'm trying to finish setting up a cyrus/postfix test server. I've got it working locally but connecting to it from a network still has some problems. When I setup a windows wkstn using outlook express to connect to the linux server, I get an inbox with imap but I can't see any mail. The outlook express is at the default setting. also, I get the following message when starting the server: Aug 24 15:17:11 linux master: setrlimit: Unable to set file descriptors limit to -1: Operation not permitted
using fetchmail and kmail, I can get all the mails...they are being stored in the maildir directories...so that part is working. I can read the mails as long as I do it from the local machine......trying to access it from a network isn't working - at least not yet.
Of course. Cyrus IMAP could not handle Maildir, it has it's own storage. You have to deliver the Mails over lmtp or maybe "deliver" to the cyrus-server.
Also....I didn't do the lmtp settings that are in the suse cyrus/imapd docs. What consequences does this have? I didn't do it because I didn't see lmtp installed on the machine. I'm just using the suse packages...not compiling anything - at least not yet!
I'm on suse 8.1 if that helps.
If you really want to use Maildir, you have to change to another IMAP-Server. I think Courier is the first choice, but don't flame me. If you want Cyrus, set it up like the suse-docs. -- Andreas
