    I'm reasonable sure that when I set the server up the smtp-server pop3-server and imap-server where all online.

    now the servers in ISPConfig it says the servers are off-line and I cant seem to get them started.

    I'm asking two questions

    1) how do i get mail servers running started, ive done /etc/init.d/courier-imap restart etc it the systems doesn't say if it was successful in restarting
    2) how would i get this working with google apps?


    thanks

    what distro are you using and what howto did you use
    assuming that you have postfix installed try

    Code:
    sudo /etc/init.d/postfix restart

    I see the instance of smtp running, weird.

    Try this
    Code:
    service postfix restart
    or this
    Code:
    postfix stop && postfix start

    than you should check your logs:
    Errors:
    Code:
    tail -f /var/log/mail.err
    Info
    Code:
    tail -f /var/log/mail.log

    You should have at least the level to find some logs on a linux system, otherwise: how you're pretending to debug/fix ?

    Code:
    ls -al /var/log/
    and look for mail logs
