I'm completely new to imap. I'm running Suse 8.2 with KDE 3.2. I've installed imapd and have it running in xinetd, from the suse cd.
I'm trying to get a mail client to connect, but have not been successful. I ran the openssl req..... as outlined in the suse help page and I think that worked fine. However I can't get a client to connect.
Did you add a imaps section to /etc/xinetd/imap? Add the following if you already made the certificate as per the help page. service imaps { disable = yes socket_type = stream protocol = tcp wait = no user = root server = /usr/sbin/imapd flags = IPv4 }
I've tried both on internal IP address, and from external to IP domain. It advises that a connection could not be established.
Are you trying on port 143 (imap) or 993 (imaps)? You should check the box to use ssl, and it should use 993 port.
I can telnet in from internal and external, and get OK [COMPATABILITY IMAP4REV1 STARTTLS LOGINDISABLED].....
Are you telneting to the correct port for ssl imap?
From here I don't know what else to do or type. Any advice?
Check the above, and if that doesn't work, come back to the list. I have it working (8.2), so it does work (but had a problem with importing the certificate in OE. It would work but would never save the certificate. -- Joe Morris New Tribes Mission Email Address: Joe_Morris@ntm.org Web Address: http://www.mydestiny.net/~joe_morris Registered Linux user 231871 God said, I AM that I AM.
