Hello, Applications gives lots of documentation, but often not the most obvious one... Usually they presume some knowledge user should have but don't always have :-( I want to configure a new server with 11.1 install (hosted, domain name and IP) I want to keep my mail on this server to access it from anywhere, with any computer. Usually, this is done with webmail, server wich names begin with "imp", said to be imap servers. So I installed dovecot, wich is by default an imap server. There is nothing about dovecot on openSUSE wiki. The divecot wiki is filled with info on compiling dovecot or debugging it, but I installed it from YaST, validate the install in services with YaST and dovecot *is* running. and now? How do I bring my mails? How can I direct Firefox to my webmail? Years ago I had squirell, but it's no more on YaST. I tried to configure thunderbird with the server's name as imap. Never tried this before, I hope this will manage the mails on the server and not dl them to my machine as pop3 do. anyway thunderbird din't ask for any pass and failed. thanks helping :-) jdd NB: I know I must also *receive* mails, this will be done with posfix later :-) -- http://www.dodin.net http://valerie.dodin.org http://news.opensuse.org/2009/04/13/people-of-opensuse-jean-daniel-dodin/ -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
