Topic: Courier Advice

If I have installed the latest upgrade to Horde/IMP on SME 5.6 should I still install Courier-IMAP? I'm thinking about the 10 connection limit. Also are there conflicts with any other packages such as Postfix or Clam Antivirus?

I'm using courier-imap on my server.  You will, however, need a custom template fragment.

/etc/e-smith/templates-custom/home/httpd/html/horde/imp/config/servers.php/120IMAPServers

Contents are:

$servers['imap'] = array(
    'name' => 'IMAP Server',
    'server' => 'localhost',
    'protocol' => 'imap',
    'port' => '143/notls',
    'folders' => '',
    'namespace' => 'INBOX.',
    'maildomain' => '{ $DomainName }',
    'smtphost' => 'mail.{ $DomainName }',
    'realm' => '{ $DomainName }',
    'preferred' => ''
);

Thanks for that but 3 questions:

1. Is courier actually necessary to overcome the 10 connection limit?

2. How do I make the custom template: is there a howto somewhere?

3. What other goodies do you run & is any extra config necessary?

Don't know about 1.  On 2, it's a text file, and I gave you the exact path name.  Use pico, or whatever is your favorite text editor, to create that file with the contents listed above.  On 3, I run the latest imp/horde updates (I created the packages, after all), RAV, and spamassassin; I think that's all that would be relevant.  I don't recall any extra config necessary for either.
