IMAP configuration problem...

[kotso]

Hello...

I'm new to DirectAdmin and mail servers... Before I had web server but not mail.

So after installing DA I cant log on mail...

I get

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

So i checked forum and tryed to do these:

cd /usr/local/directadmin/customapache
./build update
./build update_dovecot
./build dovecot
./build todovecot
/etc/rc.d/init.d/dovecot restart
echo "action=delete&value=mbox" >> /usr/local/directadmin/data/task.queue

everything was fine and currently devecot is running on my server.

Info: I dont use xinitd and I have not installed this...

then I tryed to do this:

cd /usr/local/directadmin/scripts
./set_permissions.sh email

but script gave error:

Can't open /etc/xinetd.conf: No such file or directory.
xinetd: unrecognized service


but still created IMAPD at /usr/sbin/

I tryed to connect from outlok but I get error like pass is not correct...

and in /var/log/maillog I found following error:

Apr 13 18:49:47 *** dovecot[2159]: auth(default): passwd-file(***@***.**,1.2.3.4): unknown user
Apr 13 18:49:47 *** dovecot[2159]: auth(default): shadow(***@***.**,1.2.3.4): unknown user


System is fedora 6.

SElinux disabled...

on firewall following ports are open: 21, 22, 25, 53, 80, 110, 143, 443, 953, 2222

Please advise what to do...
