 |
|
I'm working on the mailserver howto setup right now. I've just installed courier-imap and I am having some problems. At first, it wouldn't connect since there was no .maildir in my home directory. I added the directory manually and then it would at least let me connect. However, I noticed that all my mail stays in /var/mail/myusername instead of getting directed to the imap account. Is this something that gets fixed later?

You'll need your MTA to handle that. Take a look at Postfix or Sendmail. There should be plenty of Sendmail/Postfix + courier-imap how to's out there. I know there are plenty that cover Cyrus.

ok, so i've searched the net for howto's only to find them all centric to using mysql or another program. If possible, I would just like postfix/courier-imap ... can this be done? Could someone please post the steps beyond emerging courier-imap and postfix? I know there must not be very much left in the config, I just can't find info on how to do it.

Look for this area in /etc/postfix/main.cf and change home_mailbox.
| Code: | # DELIVERY TO MAILBOX
#
# The home_mailbox parameter specifies the optional pathname of a
# mailbox file relative to a user's home directory. The default
# mailbox file is /var/spool/mail/user or /var/mail/user. Specify
# "Maildir/" for qmail-style delivery (the / is required).
home_mailbox = Maildir/
|
No guarentees about that.
