Dovecot on slicehost
I was trying to add dovecot to my virtualmin setup on slicehost on the weekend. The problem was that virtualmin wrongly detected the version dovecot and wrote the wrong config file. So then I couldn’t get dovecot to start. I ended up following a guide on setting up dovecot to work with ubuntu and postfix using PAM - once I set the userdb and passdb and the sasl config options it all came good. It was pretty straightforward and I can’t really remember the link I used so sorry about not being more helpful – actually it might have been on the dovecot wiki.
To test it I was using mutt -f imap://username.domainuser@localhost/ which started working once I figured out to configure PAM in the dovecot config. However, I still had trouble with pop3. This ended up being because of a thing called uidl which I hadn’t set.
Next step is getting IMP onto the thing. I would like to check out squirrelmail as well to see how it’s looking these days. Does anyone know of any cool rails webmail clients? A gmail knockoff would be cool.
