Do yourself a favor and install the port (cd /usr/ports/mail/imap-uw && make install). It will take care of placing imapd in the appropriate place (well, what's thought appropriate by the FreeBSD port maintainer, at least ;-) See http://www.freebsd.org/handbook/ports-using.html for more detailed information about ports. There are ports for other imap server than imap-uw of course, it is just the most classical one. > 2) What is the entry for imap in /etc/services looks like ? give me an > example, please.

Follow the instruction there, if you are using imap-uw it is as simple as uncommenting it. -- Chive To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
