Title: imap server: 3 short but urgent questions
Post by: Hasan Muhammad on July 12, 2000, 09:08:01 PM

I'm using e-smith-4.0b8.

Does e-smith provide an imap server?

Is it setup by default?

If not, how does an e-smith administrator set it up?

btw, from the 'e-smith-manager: other email settings frame I set POP and IMAP server access to PUBLIC.

i  have 4b7 so i'm assuming 4b8  is almost the same as mine.
mine has imap installed and i certainly didn't do anything special to get it.  so  yes  it's installed  (as is pop).   yes it will work for you,  and as usual goto http://192.168.*.*/e-smith-manager, or whatever your  e-box IP is, and configure  your  accounts.

thanks for sharing your experience... here's mine...

1) I did a fresh install of 4.0b8... created two users.

2) From a w98 box using Outlook Express I created a new user/identity with a pop3 mailbox... everything works fine... (I actually received your email via the e-smith pop3 email account).

3) From a w98 box using Outlook Express I created a new user/identity (test1@domain.com) with a imap mailbox... as the new mail account was being created I got the following message...
  There are not any folders to show for this account.  Would you like to view a list of available folders now?
  I clicked 'yes'... The 'Downloading folders' dialog appeared followed by this error message...
  The connection to the server has failed.
  Configuration:
   Account: 192.168.0.11
   Server: 192.168.0.11
   User name: test1
   Protocol: IMAP
   Port: 143
   Secure(SSL): 0
   Code: 800ccc0e

4) I'm stumped.

Yes.

It should be, but due to an error it isn't. Please install
e-smith-wu-imap-0.1-5.noarch.rpm from http://www.nlc.net.au/e-smith/. That should fix your problem.
