telnet localhost 143 a01 login username password a02 select inbox a03 logout If courier drops connection when you do select inbox, you have forgot to create Maildir directory or permissions of Maildir are broken. If you use webmail interface, you should also increate default MAXPERIP value in imap configuration file /etc/courier/imapd or some other place. -- Tomas ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by: IntelliVIEW -- Interactive Reporting Tool for open source databases.
