Hi,

I recently installed directadmin on a CentOS 6.4. Minimal installation, with some directadmin guides. Everything went without a problem. Now I wanted to setup mail. In guide I see everywhere saying check whether imapd exist in /usr/sbin directory. well it does not, but I cannot find the package which installs it. Somehow exim did not install with initial installation. So I installed it with a exim.sh script from /usr/local/directadmin/scripts/. I also tried to launch imap.sh script, but it gives me error - Unable to find: /usr/local/directadmin/scripts/packages/imapd
can you guys advise which package I need to install to get imapd or should I build it from source (imap-2007b.tar.Z I found in http://files.directadmin.com/services/custombuild/)?
I tried googling but did not find anything..
I would appreciate any help!
Cheers!
 
It should not be needed to do anything else but install exim and dovecot in custombuild:

Code:
cd /usr/local/directadmin/custombuild
./build update
./build exim
./build dovecot

This will give you both imap and pop.
 
Yes, I forgot about options.conf, you are correct. I am happy this helped you. :)

Edit: Also I would like to mention that you should regularly run:

Code:
cd /usr/local/directadmin/custombuild
./build update
./build versions

To see if there is any new versions, and then ./build those.

Will do that, thanks. Love directadmin, such a great product.. and it's community!
