Anders, Thank you. One last question. Is it possible to run things as you suggest and have the ability to both get mail directly from /var/spool/mail if loged on to the SuSE box or retrive it via fetchmail from a remote machine AT THE SAME TIME, i.e. logged on I run Kmail and Kmail gets mail from /var/spool/mail/user which is put there via SMTP / Postfix or that same user retrieves his mail via fetchmail if not logged on with Kmail up? I still want users that log on to the suse box to get mail via Kmail / local mail box. Thanks john On Wednesday 19 July 2006 19:01, Anders Johansson wrote:
You now have a working mail/IMAP server. At this point you need to create an account on the cyrus server. If you open an email client and configure as incoming account to point to the cyrus server, it will automagically create the account for you. However, by default the quota will be set to 10MB, which might be a little low for you( I know it is for me), so before you do this, you may want to edit /etc/imapd.conf and set autocreatequota: to something a little higher (it needs to be more than 0, otherwise the account won't be automatically created)
Step 5: configure fetchmail either manually, if you know the config file syntax, or through the fetchmailconf GUI
Step 6: run fetchmail If in the config you set it up as a daemon, run it as a daemon, otherwise set up a cron job to run it at regular intervals (not sure how specific I need to be about this step)
