Mandrake's courier-imap runs as a daemon. Start it with service courier-imap start and you can make it start at boot with chkconfig courier-imap on


Yes, I already set up a symlink in /etc/rc.d/rc3.d for that. It is
running, I can use it on the pc where it is installed, through any
e-mail program.


You should not have port 143 open on the firewall, because squirrelmail
communicates to port 143 on localhost. (In /etc/squirrelmailconfig.php set '$imapServerAddress =
'localhost';' )


That was the default. If I set that back, I can't even get to the
login-page of Squirrelmail. My normal pc's name is 'nwyfre', that is
also how it is set in /etc/hosts. When I access the main page of apache
from 'outside', that is okay (using http://cp143764-a.mill1.nb.home.nl/
. When I want to access Squirrelmail, the addressbar translates to
http://nwyfre/squirrel. It looks as if the localhost setting from
/etc/hosts is then used to point to the location of Squirrelmail. And
since nwyfre is not in any DNS, that is where everything seems to keel
over.

But more trial and error another day, it's late now. Thanks for the help
(also to Mikkel!)

Paul,
What generates the web page? From what you say here, I think you may be looking in the wrong place for the problem. The problem is not in accessing imap, but in the address the web page generates for the link. Is there a config file that controls generating the web page, or is it a static page? In ether case, you need to change the link being generates to point to http://cp143764-a.mill1.nb.home.nl/squirrel instead of http://nwyfre/squirrel.
