I set everything up properly, SM seems to be accessible through my browser fine, PHP and PostFix seem to be working too, but well i cant login. I know that im missing something, but I need some guidance, heres what i get:


ERROR


Error connecting to IMAP server: localhost.
111 : Connection refused



(try it yourself at http://leniu.sytes.net/sm/ )
Something is wrong with my mysql, but i dont think that's it.
I appreciate all the help.

By the way all comments on SM and postfix are welcome.

I am running PHP 4.3.4, SM 1.4.2, Postfix 2.0, and apache 1.3.x

Go back into Squirrel's config script. It should be connecting on localhost:143

i will do that, but im guessing that 111 is an error number?

--

it is connecting on 143

111 is indeed an error number, connection refused in particular.
I tried to connect to your IMAP service on leniu.sytes.net:
$ telnet leniu.sytes.net 143
Trying 24.168.88.166...
telnet: Unable to connect to remote host: Connection refused
So check your firewall, it needs to allow incoming connections on port 143 obviously.

firewall is ok, i think i didnt instlal imap correctly . Can someone send me a good howto with what im looking for?

(im trying to set up a mailserver)

is that what im lokoing for? because after that it still doesnt work

why wont anybody help me?

i just need to know hwat i need to install in order for my mail server to work, is it that complicated? (

Well clearly from your first post, you seem to not be running imap which is required for SquirrelMail. Have you installed or started IMAP? And if this is the server your connecting to, it doesn't matter if your blocking imap and port 143 from the outside world, just as long as you don't block your localhost which I doubt when running squirrelmail with imapd

i dont know, i have courier-imap and postfix installed, but i dont think i configured courier-imap right, there was nothing in the documentation that came with courier-imap that said what to cnofigure aghh

---
and, how to start it?

solved it myself, i missed

/usr/lib/courier-imap/libexec/imapd.rc start

so it was installed but not started

Well, i got another problem.......... I dont know how to add a user and theres NOTHING on google i been searchign for 3 hours, tried at least 10 different tutorials, and nothing ;(. its helpless

add user to my imap database...
