virtualspy Posted July 24, 2003 Report Share Posted July 24, 2003 I can access the postfix mailbox using a POP connection in Outlook. After installing Courier IMAP, I get an authentication failure when attempting to connect using an IMAP connection in Outlook. I tried the different authentication methods and they all have authentication failures. After installing Squirrelmail for web access, I also get an authentication failure when attempting to logon to the web page. I'm sure it's an IMAP configuration issue ...but I don't know where else to look. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
virtualspy Posted July 28, 2003 Author Report Share Posted July 28, 2003 So far I setup the IMAP configuration to use MySQL database. But it doesn't seem to be connecting to the database. Does anyone have a working Courier IMAP using MySQL with which I can compare? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kmack Posted July 28, 2003 Report Share Posted July 28, 2003 I don't know the tech details, but if the OL is XP make sure you have the latest SP and all security patches installed. The email system I help support has lots of AUTH problems with both POP and IMAP authorization unless everything is current. Whenever a user gets a new xp loaded computer we have problems until we get them updated. All we can figure is it is an MS thing. Sorry I am not much help... just a fellow sufferer!
