But it fails to start. SquirrelMail doesn't "start", it's a web application. You need to check up on the configuration of apache to find out if it loaded properly. ~From what I remember, debian/ubuntu both install an alias in the apache configuration directories that make http://yourserver/squirrelmail available, which might mean you need to restart apache. In fact, the details on getting that portion running are on the link you provided. If you're having issues there, you should check your web server log files for any errors. | On your URL it says it need IMAP server. It says you need access to an IMAP server. It doesn't necessarily say you have to be the one running it. For example, your ISP might run one, or you may want to access one provided by a mail provider (gmail for example). | I don't have it running on | this mail server under testing. I'm prepared to install following | packages; | | courier-base - Courier Mail Server - Base system | courier-imap - Courier Mail Server - IMAP server | courier-imap-ssl - Courier Mail Server - IMAP over SSL Picking your imap server entirely depends on what you want to do with it. Small scale systems would work okay with uw-imap, then you have courier/dovecot, and cyrus, for bigger setups. I personally have used all of them, but I prefer courier/dovecot on most setups, and I'm shifting my servers to dovecot now. You'll also need some method of sending mail out, and receiving mail as well. This is usually handled by something like Sendmail, Postfix, or Exim. My personal preference here is postfix. I've not touched exim before, and from past experience sendmail can be complex to tweak. But again, as I said above, you only need access to a server, you don't necessarily need to be running it. What are you trying to achieve? Are you planning on hosting your own mail server(s)? Do you want to handle the mail coming into and out of a domain? - -- Jon Angliss <jon@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.8 (MingW32) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iEYEARECAAYFAkg6NUkACgkQK4PoFPj9H3MesACfWeGRmfwJTBXOnLOi+QXv9Ag1 GzkAoOiIwRycTVQX4qn2DC4cRWg8XM1K =uBqJ -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.
