You won't be able to login with telnet, you need to use a client like kmail or Opera browser, they do secure imap on port 143. Did you use Debian packages for Courier? Try this documentation, it's for Debian http://www.trekweb.com/~jasonb/articles/exim4_courier/index.html I use Postfix and not Exim, though. Perhaps I misunderstood what you were trying to do, I thought you wanted a secure connection. If you want a normal IMAP connection, you should use the original imapd-ssl contents. 8) > Jared > > > I had similar problems and this is what I did to get it working: > > Edited /etc/courier/imapd-ssl making the following changes > > > > IMAPDSSLSTART=NO (it was set to YES) > > > > IMAPDSTARTTLS=YES (the default was NO) > > IMAP_TLS_REQUIRED=1 > > > > > > Then I edited imapd.cnf and changed the hostname to my fully-qualified > > hostname, it will not work if you do not do that.
