OK. "$ netstat -an | grep 143" now returns the following: tcp 0 0 0.0.0.0:143 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN Is this how it's supposed to be?
For IMAP, yes. IMAP doesn't receive email, it distributes it.
I still can't recieve mail. the users have files in /var/spool/mail, but
they're all 0 bytes, even though I've sent several mails to all.
How have you sent them?
Try logging onto the box, and running the command
mail -s "test 1 2 3" fred wilma
to see if those two users are getting email.
You're trying to sort too many problems at the same time. Focus on getting the data delivery before you worry too much about IMAP.I'm behind a firewall, but I've opened and forwarder post 143. Besides, when trying to send a mail from one user to another within the network it doesn't work either.
If you have an IMAP server you should instead set this to point to the IMAP server. From memory, the format is something like:In Pine I've changed inbox-path to /var/spool/mail/[username]. Is that correct?
inbox-path=mail.company.com:INBOX
Wrong, are least incomplete. This will *also* give users account they can log into with whatever access you're allowing--ssh, Xwindows login, whatever. You may also wish to disable this access by setting the user's shell in /etc/passwd.
But how do I create mail accounts for the users?Simply create normal user accounts with the user manager in X windows. Then
point the imap client software to your server and you good to go.
