 |
|
i have getmail & courierimap setup correctly (works from within kmail on other box)
but squirrelmail keeps giving me this error:
There was an error contacting the mail server. 
i configured it like in the desktop guide
is there an errorlog where i can find more about this ?
or does someone have some hints as to where begin the search?
thanx |

From a prompt do a 'telnet localhost 143'. Does it connect (and sit there) or timeout?
