Sorry to disturb :-(. I have a problem and don't find the solution in archives. I've seen a lot of squirrel posts, but none seems to do with my problem.

I'm setting a proxy/sevreur with a suse 9.0.

postfix is going well, mail goes and come from serveur and from clients (I receive them at jdd@dodin.org).

I try to setup squirrel mail to reach my mail from anywhere.

all my mail install is from yast/suse (ftp).

so I installed imap and squirrel, run squirrel config, no problem. allow imap in xinetd (imapd) - imaps also.

I connect to squirrel by http and get the login screen. I log as jdd, and have this

Warning: fsockopen(): unable to connect to localhost:143 in /srv/www/htdocs/squirrelmail/functions/imap_general.php on line 446

and Erreur lors de la connexion au serveur IMAP localhost. 110 : Connexion termin?e par expiration du d?lai d'attente

(that is delay expired from port 110)

so I mean this is an imap problem. but there is very few imap doc here. imap is open (and port 110 again) in SuSEFirewall2, I don't see any config file (no im* in /etc)

Port 110 is POP, not IMAP. Connections to localhost do not go thru the firewall. The IMAP protocol is built on the telnet protocol so you can check the server functioning independent of SquirrelMail. Here is a telent session with my IMAP server. Change user and password to a real user and their password. I use Courier IMAP, not UoW IMAP, so greeting and other details will differ. The first a1, a2, a3, a4, a5 lines are the ones you type.

Jeffrey This depends on which imap you are using. Not familiar with Courier, but if you use the uw-imap that comes with suse, it is compiled to only accept secure connections thru imaps on port 993. See the excellent write up by David Krider at http://www.davidkrider.com/suse_8.2.php

You can also use Dovecot. It will accept connections via imap on port 143, or imaps on 993. I haven't used that much, but it was fairly easy to set up on a set system. Which ever way you go remember to configure squirrelmail to tell it which version of imap you are running. Hope this helps. -- Jim Flanagan linuxjim at jjfiii dot com
