IMAPEngine

IMAPEngine is an IMAP email server that stores all email and mailbox data within a tdbengine database structure. Thus it provides high performance even with a huge number of email accounts, messages and folders.
All the EMails are fetched from each users personal POP3-Account and provided to him/her via the IMAP4Rev1 protocoll.

IMAPEngine is distributed under the terms of the GPL.

Use this software on your own risk. I do not take responsibility for any data loss, damage or what ever could happen when using IMAPEngine.

You will have the IMAP service waiting an listening on tcp port 143.

In order to test if everything works as expected you should now open your email client and create a new IMAP account with the following login information:

User account = imap
User password = engine
your.server.com:143

A message is waiting for you...

To setup your own accounts on console use the imapconfig - module by running

> ./runimapconfig.sh
or even better start the web configuration utility in your favorite web browser at

http://localhost:8282

There use the login name "imap" and the password "admin". This login information can (and should!) be changed in the webface.ini in programm/
