'''Problem'''

If you have any problem below. It means you are not able to access the !SquirrelMail via web interface. in backend you might have Sendmail, Postfix or Qmail.

This is the basic troubleshooting to know if the IMAP service is running (by telneting it on 143 port). And then this Kerbros related error comes up and you're not able to telnet.

This results you can't run your webmail services. Specially any web mail system required port 143 which is IMAP protocol to be opened.

'''Solution'''

Never install {{imap-pop3d}} with the Red Hat 9 default mail server IMAP package. Don't select it during installation. this is the cause in many circumstances.

Just remove the {{imapd}} package using {{rpm -e imap-2000d}} or whatever you have installed. If you are not sure then {{rpm -qa |grep imap}} and check your package name and remove it. Then install it again.

Then {{ntsysv}} and check all services IPOP3/2/IMAP/IMAPS and then {{service xinetd restart}}. Thats all. Reboot will be a good faith to server.

It doesn't matter if I do it.

imapd: relocation error: imapd: undefined symbol: krb5_kt_start_seq_get

----

On Mac OS X (10.4.10), if you get a "!BadRequest..." error with uw-imapd, try these changes in the top level !MakeFile:

<code>
PASSWDTYPE=pam
SSLTYPE=none
</code>

Recompile.

You will get a warning that this violates an RFC, but is okay if you are only accessing IMAP from the localhost.

Remember to move {{imapd}} to an appropriate directory.

----

If you have Linux Red Hat 9 installed and you experience Bad Request issues, it might be because of a bad service user in
{{/etc/xinetd.d/imap}}

The user should be {{root}}. If you accidentally altered the user edit the setting and be sure to change it into {{root}}. It should work.
