from the service it doesn't see to have IMAP service. what package do i need to get IMAP on FreeBSD 5.3 so that suqirrel mail will work. instead the error 61.

i tho DA install everything from A to Z for you...
 
what IMAP do DA use? is it imapd? i find it under /sbin/service but i can't start it when i type start imapd it give me error.

uh....can someone help me out with IMAP service with FreeBSD 5.3 and DA 1.26.1?
 
vm-pop3d is not the IMAP daemon.

The imap daemon is imapd[/b], and it's not run as a daemon, but rather through [x]inetd.

Since it's not run as a daemon, service won't start it.

If your server runs xinetd you should have a file at /etc/xinetd.d which looks something like this:
Code: 
# default: on
# description: imapd
service imap
{
        disable = no
        socket_type             = stream
        wait                    = no
        user                    = root
        server                  = /usr/sbin/imapd
        #log_on_success         += DURATION USERID
        #log_on_failure         += USERID
        nice                    = 10
}
You shouldn't have to restart [x]inetd.

my OS is FreeBSD 5.3 and when i try to telnet localhost 143 i got this error

telnet: connect to address 127.0.0.1: Connection refused
telnet: Unable to connect to remote host

i follow this DA's kb http://help.directadmin.com/item.php?id=18

any idea on how to fix it?
 
How far were you able to follow that link without error?

I'm not knowledgeable enough on FreeBSD; perhaps someone else will answer.

I've moved the thread to the FreeBSD 5.x forum; perhaps there it will attract some response.

On FreeBSD all you need to do is:

Code: 
inetd
echo 'inetd_enable="YES"' >> /etc/rc.conf
