IMAP error question

[DiscHead]

I’ve installed IMAP and POP3 based on the tutorial on afp548.com and when I telnet localhost imap I get an error saying ‘Connection closed by foreign host’.

Anybody have advice on this?

Thanks!

After going through the install procedure as outlined at:

https://www.afp548.com/Articles/mail/postfix-solo.html

I realized that I needed to create the directory for /usr/local/bin to place the imapd binary. I’m thinking the permissions for this directory not be properly set for imapd to function. What would be the proper permissions for this directory?

I’ve been having the same problem. I’ve rebuilt UW-IMAP several times, checked the firewall (enabled and disabled it) and fiddled with both inetd and xinetd.

This isn’t my primary server so I haven’t been chasing after it, but, I’m almost out of development time. I’m thinking of trying Courier to see if that works instead.

Problem Solved!!! After much digging, reading, etc., I found the solution:

chmod 755 /usr/local/bin/imapd 😆 😆
