When I try to connect to SquirrelMail I get this error message:
Error connecting to IMAP server: localhost.
61 : Connection refused

I can connect to it with neotech and also via outlook, any ideas?

Thanks
 
Squirrelmail uses IMAP. The other mail clients you mention use POP3. It sounds like IMAP isn't running.
 
I looked in 'Show Services' I didn't see IMAP listed - would there be somewhere else to tell if it is running or to start it? -Thanks
 
Imapd runs off of inetd unless you are using the new dovecot.

Easiest way to determine if it is running is just to use telnet to open the port.

telnet localhost 143

If you are not using dovecot then imapd runs off of inetd or xinetd. Make sure that it is running and enabled in there.
 
Sorry. I assumed Techs (especially PCTechs) spoke geek! ;)

Try this:

/sbin/service xinetd restart
 
Hi there,

I'm running DA on FC4. I can't seem to find a service named inetd OR xinetd there.. ie; the cmd service xinetd and service inetd start throws back a service not found msg.


Please help ..

I need to setup IMAP .

FC4 should run xinetd.

Check the contents of your /etc/rc.d/init.d directory:

# ls -al /etc/rc.dinit.d/*inetd*

and see what you get.

As I said earlier, There is NO reference to anything with a inetd in the filename.

ls -la /etc/rc.d/init.d also has nothing with inetd in it..



Suggestions pls..

I find it hard to believe that FCx doesn't have xinetd installed.

Have you done a:

# whereis service

how about a:

# whereis xinetd

???

morpheus# whereis xinetd
xinetd: /usr/ports/security/xinetd
morpheus# whereis service
service:
morpheus#

So just to confirm, run the restart in /usr/ports/security/xinetd ?
 
Since I've never seen a /usr/ports directory in FCx, I have no idea.

And as far as I know, service always installed in an FC install.

Are you sure you're running FC?

Anyone else have any ideas?

If it comes back with that reply you are not using linux you are using freebsd most likely.

To see what os you are using try:

uname -s

Freebsd uses inetd instead of xinetd. You can restart inetd with the command:

/usr/sbin/inetd

If you are in fact using freebsd after starting it put the following lines to the file /etc/rc.conf

inetd_enable="YES"
inetd_flags="-l -R 1024"

Personally I suggest using the new dotcove its very nice and you dont need to use inetd for imap.

NO way he is using linux. Probably netbsd or freebsd. But freebsd most likely cause im not even sure directadmin works with netbsd.
