Topic: new HOWTO WRT: Courier IMAP

[Patrick Hickey]

There is a new HOWTO posted detailing a conversion to the (awesome) Courier IMAP. I do not have an email address to the developer or I wouldn't bother the forum.

Calling  Michael Weinberger.....

Question: does this conversion thus allow for SSL over IMAP? Courier IMAP is capable of this very desirable means for retrieving email but I am unclear if this specific HOWTO enables it?

Might  also ask if this in any way mucks with my previous conversion (Dan Brown's, that is) to IMP 3?

Thanks. This is great across the boad. Courier is so much more efficient than UW IMAP. I'm not biting the hand that feeds me, just ack'ng the fact that an enhancement like this is well received.

regards,

patrick

Michael appears to be at Michael Weinberger .

I'm pretty sure his RPM supports IMAP over SSL.  For it to work properly with IMP 3, though, you'll need to make some changes to the servers.php template:

mkdir -p /etc/e-smith/templates-custom/home/httpd/html/horde/imp/config/servers.php
cp /etc/e-smith/templates/home/httpd/html/horde/imp/config/servers.php/40Servers \
/etc/e-smith/templates-custom/home/httpd/html/horde/imp/config/servers.php/
pico /etc/e-smith/templates-custom/home/httpd/html/horde/imp/config/servers.php/40Servers

Change:

    'folders' => 'Mail/',
    'namespace' => '',

to:

    'folders' => '',
    'namespace' => 'INBOX.',

Thanks dan.

I'll do some testing and post status WRT the issues.

I appreciate your reply

Given the scalability associated with Courier versus UW, let alone the footprint, makes me wonder outloud why it isn't part of the binary?
