anyone kno of a good linux imap server...i have the squirrel mail interface (AWESOME) now all i need is somthing to plug it into...thanks

ps. already tried that cyrus server, sucks, wouldnt even compile

At work we have just installed a server with:
courier-imap
squirrelmail
qmail

It seems to be working well and once we have an LDAP authentication server running we can put it live :)

EDIT: You don;t need LDAP but we want to use it for other things anyway.

roofy 05-01-2003 03:34 PM
yea i kno....i dl'ed dkimap and that sucks too...ill look into courier thanks

roofy 05-01-2003 03:40 PM
update: i looked into this earlier and just remeber why i didnt download it....how do you work with .bz2 files?

david_ross 05-01-2003 03:43 PM
Just extract them like tar files:
tar -xjf filename.bz2

The "j" puts the file through bzip2.

roofy 05-01-2003 04:15 PM
ah ok.....i just bunzip2'ed and tar -xvhf yea im compliing now...thanks

i made install as non-root and i cant find it anywhere...its not where its supposed to be which is /usr/lib/courier

david_ross 05-01-2003 04:27 PM
I would go back and run it as root.

Sorry - I can't remember the exact paths of the top of my head. try:
find / -name courier-imap | less

roofy 05-01-2003 04:48 PM
ahah the installion SPECIFICALLY said not to do it as root...so yea im going to do it as root anyway..

roofy 05-01-2003 04:54 PM
HAHHAAHh i just ran .configure as root and it totally bitched me out...so yea what now?

To compile and install the Courier-IMAP server (this is the short version, a longer version follows):


$ ./configure [ options, see below ]
$ make
$ make check # Note - the --enable-workarounds-for-imap-client-bugs
# option to configure will result in make check FAILING.
$ su root
# make install # Or, make install-strip, to strip the executables.
# make install-configure # Install configuration files.

# Start the authdaemond process

NOTE

You MUST run the configure script as normal user, not root. Did you extract the tarball as root? It won't work. Remove the extracted source code. Log in as a normal user. Extract the source code as a normal user, then run configure. You will do everything as a normal user, except for the final step of installing the compiled software.
You run the last 2 as root only configure, make and make check are run as a normal user.

ok thats what i did so lemme just double check and do it again

roofy 05-01-2003 05:12 PM
whats the diff between install-strip and just install?

david_ross 05-01-2003 05:26 PM
I think the only difference is that install-strip doesn't display debugging info.

roofy 05-01-2003 05:44 PM
ok im goign to make install now
