sup guys.

I set up a mail server with postfix, maildrop and courier-imap on my lan.
When I send a message using evolution to the mailserver, posfix and maildrop are doing the right thing: dropping the mail into $HOME/Maildir.

The problem is courier-imap. When i try(from the same machine that I send the message in the first place) to get the message, I get an authentication error.

To reiterate:
If I have a user named 'galvatron' on my email server and I send an email to galvatron@mailserver.com (this is all within the lan), postfix and maildrop send it to the right place '/home/galvatron/Maildir'. However, when i try using courier-imap to grab the email from galvatron@mailserver.com it presents me with the password screen(as it should), but when I enter the password, I get a authorization error, even though I'm entering the right password.

What files/settings do I need to change to log onto the mailserver with evolution(or any email client for that matter). I want to use the actual passwords from the user galvatron?

I'm using fedora core 1, and the latest courier-imap.

thanks

it seems that lately I've been answering my own questions. No support.


Anyways, I recompiled many times. The last time, I took out the authmysql, authpgsql, authldap. Also, the authpam was not been compiling automatically so I had to manually right --with-authpam. After that, I was still having a bit of problems. I had to manually set the AUTHDAEMONRC(I don't remember if this is the exact name) option from =NO to YES. I don't understand why this doesn't default to YES. But still wasn't working. the problem was with the famd(note not pam, but fam). I manually started the fam daemon and now I can start loggon.

Hope this helps someone.

Where do you edit AUTHDAEMONRC? I couldnt find it... I'm having same problems as this.
