Subject: Dovecot for testing - can someone please give advice?./. Was: Citadel? Courier? Cyrus? Dovecot? - I just want to backup my emails
Hello all,
I try to set up a simple Dovecot instance on a raspberry where I can
create one mailbox and use this for testing purposes with GNU Mailutils
and ImapSync.
Therefore I installed Dovecot out of the box and created a user ("cyrus").
For now, it seems to run. While, only the non-encrypting protocols are
used (no pop3s, no imaps):
PORT STATE SERVICE
22/tcp open ssh
25/tcp open smtp
80/tcp open http
110/tcp open pop3
119/tcp open nntp
143/tcp open imap
406/tcp open imsp
631/tcp open ipp
8008/tcp open http
When I try to log into Dovecot, it asks for password (based on /etc/shadow
as it looks like), but then Dovecot asks for some imap password:
[502 root@rpi-inst ~]# cyradm -u cyrus localhost
Password:
IMAP Password:
Login failed: authentication failure at /usr/lib/arm-linux- gnueabihf/perl5/5.32/Cyrus/IMAP/Admin.pm line 134.
cyradm: cannot authenticate to server as cyrus
Can anyone please give some advice how to get a mailbox set up, so that I
can test with?
Thank you!
