Please help with imap
 

I try to run an imap server. Everythink is ok but when I try to login I type telnet localhost 143

/usr/local/libexec/courier-imap # telnet localhost 143
Trying ::1...
Connected to localhost.
Escape character is '^]'.

LOGIN rafalek
LOGIN NO Error in IMAP command received by server.

For imap-uw, bincimap and cyrus-imap is similar.
What I do wrong? Can you help me?

Now I try to configure bincimap.
When try to connect and type correct password connection close.

/usr/local/etc/bincimap # telnet localhost 143
Trying ::1...
telnet: connect to address ::1: Connection refused
Trying 127.0.0.1...
Connected to localhost.
Escape character is '^]'.

But when I type bad password

/usr/local/etc/bincimap # telnet localhost 143
Trying ::1...
telnet: connect to address ::1: Connection refused

My bincimap.conf:

disable starttls = "yes"
}

}

What I do wrong? What to change?
I use FreeBSD 5.1 but it doesn't matter.

i dont know where the trouble is. but have a look at http://freebsd.qmailrocks.org/imap.htm

it describes howto install courier-imap on freeBSD 5.1 for qmail.

i hope it helps u

That is result of trying to login per imap to courier-imap

/usr/local/etc/rc.d.temp # telnet localhost 143
Trying ::1...

login rafalek@localhost ******
login NO Error in IMAP command received by server.

I done everything what was writen on above page

try with a number before the command:
01 login rafalek@localhost ******

I found answer for this trouble
I add this line to /etc/c-client.cf:

I accept the risk
set disable-plaintext 0

And it works!
