Hi Richard and list,
- I have an Imap server running on my SuSE9. I actually tried more than one...and it's listening, you can telnet to it. And netstat -apn | grep 143 gives that it's indeed listening.
I guess you can connect to the IMAP server via telnet but you didn't tried to login via telnet, did you?
- When I set it up in Kmail giving my username and password from /etc/passwd (i.e. my credentials on the server), I get (in danish): "Could not log in, username or password most likely wrong..
Which IMAP server are you using (Cyrus, UWash, Courior)? AFAIK all server may use different ways for login: /etc/passwd, LDAP, RDMS and other. Did you configure it to use /etc/passwd? BTW: I have an IMAP server running and connecting via kmail is no problem, so it should be your configuration and not an kmail bug. regards, Verena
