Yes, except Linux is case sensitive, so it would be Mail. ~<username>/Mail/ is the same (sorry I missed a slash and added one in the wrong place.) That is the setup on the IMAP account I have in my client. That way I can go into any users account in our server via imap just by changing the username, username element of the path, and password (usually to delete or forward email).

That should be correct.

As far as imapd is concerned, postfix is not part of the equation.

What are you putting in as the server name. Unless you run a local DNS, I would suggest just using the IP, i.e. 192.168.1.1

What happens if you ssh? My guess is telnet does not use ssl and therefore will not work. I don't really know, as I just use a mail client. It will ask you to accept the certificate (because it is self-signed and not automatically trusted, i.e. not issued by a known and trusted Certificate Authority), which since I trust it I accept it permanently. It will then work without asking again. What mail client have you tried?
I am using Pegasus mail trying to connect from a local XP box. All it advises is that connection fails, no other message or info. Using Putty from the same machine, I can ssh to port 22 and log in, no problem. But when I try to connect to port 993 I get a message that session was terminated by remote host. Not much other info to go on. Jim Flanagan
