Great, made a lot of progress now, I had to do a couple of other small changes, but now I can access my mail folders and even send our mail via my LAN connection however I still cannot seem to access from the internet. I have tried <myipaddress>/squirrelmail but did not get a reponse. I tried to telnet <ipaddress> 143 remotely and did not get a connection. I tried opening port 143/144 in my router nat tables and it seemed that it was going to work (at least it took a little longer to come back with a response) but ultimately still didn't connect.

As suggestion where to look.

Thanks in advance

Jeremy

1. http://squirrelmail.org/wiki/FedoraSELinux
Fix your SELinux policies. "ERROR:* Error connecting to SMTP server
"some-address".Server
error: (13) Permission denied" usually means SELinux issues on Fedora,
RedHat and CentOS.

2. Enable Mercury/32 IMAP module and make sure that you are running latest
Mercury version. 4.01 has issues with international folder names.

3. In SquirrelMail configuration set IMAP server address to your Mercury/32
server address.

CourierIMAP can't read Mercury/32 mailboxes.
