I managed to setup imapd under xinetd control with Suse 8.2 in several minutes. Process is not that complicated but you have to make a copy of users/passwd entrys to other file. Possible problem with inconsistency may occur... Anyways, this imapd setup was solved in previous posts - do a search for suse and imap on this list, even better- look at thread posted today - "POP doesn't work in SuSE 8.2" for solution Regards ,himba Dne petek 23. maja 2003 18:26 je John Pettigrew napisal(a):

IIUC, you are saying that fetchmail can act as an IMAP server to the LAN.
no, the same server you have fetchmail running on can also run an imap server using postfix or sendmail for example.
Thank you - this is what I was saying!
easy imap daemon : uw-imap - it comes standard with most linux distros
but not SuSE, apparently. I'll have a hunt for it on the net.
better imap daemons : courier or cyrus - these not as easy to setup as uw-imap, but they are better for a heavy mail server (production).
I'll have a look at cyrus, too, because this is on the DVD for 8.2.
Has anyone tried the "imap" package? This says that it is an IMAP and POP server...
Thanks for these pointers.
