I am getting the following error when trying to log in to squirrelmail. "ERROR: Connection dropped by courier IMAP server." Here is some information about my setup. Software: Newly installed CentOS 5.5 and ISPConfig 3 I followed the instructions in the turorial to set up Dovecot, but I had trouble configuring Dovecot and replaced it with courier-imap. I can send and receive email from the server in mbox format just fine. I just can't get squirrmail to work. Finally, I am running this computer in a colocated data center. I manage the DNS for my domains myself.

You must use Maildir, not mbox, because both Dovecot and Courier don't support mbox. Any errors in your mail log?

I followed these instructions: http://www.howtoforge.com/installing-courier-imap-courier-authlib-maildrop-fedora-redhat-centos For smtp, I probably need saslauthd - it's not running. I have not configured it. ?? http://www.howtoforge.com/howto_postfix_smtp_auth_tls_howto # telnet localhost 25 Code: Trying 127.0.0.1... Connected to localhost.localdomain (127.0.0.1). Escape character is '^]'. 220 mail.jpre.net ESMTP Postfix ... my terminal session will freeze after the last line above and I have to close my terminal session and spawn a new one. Sorry but I do not know much about mail config. Thanks in advance for your post!
I take that back ... Actually, if I wait long enough ... the telnet command will time out and close the connection. Code: Trying 127.0.0.1... Connected to localhost.localdomain (127.0.0.1). Escape character is '^]'. 220 mail.jpre.net ESMTP Postfix 421 4.4.2 mail.jpre.net Error: timeout exceeded Connection closed by foreign host.
Type Code: ehlo localhost after the 220 line - this will show you what Postfix supports; then type Code: quit to go back to the shell. Please install Courier according to chapter 10 on http://www.howtoforge.com/perfect-server-centos-5.2-ispconfig-3-p4 .
Here is what I get: Code: # telnet localhost 25 Trying 127.0.0.1... Connected to localhost.localdomain (127.0.0.1).

I followed instructions 10 through 12 http://www.howtoforge.com/perfect-server-centos-5.2-ispconfig-3-p4 Afterward, I updated ISPConfig to reconfigure postfix etc. I can't send or receive anything.
