Courier-IMAP

Courier-IMAP requires the installation of the Courier Authentication Library and the following cygwin tools and packages

  • patch, tar, make, gcc
  • crypt
  • libgdbm-devel
  • inetutils
  • syslogd
  • cygrunsrv

Courier Authentication Library

Download and untar courier-authlib in your favorite sandbox. Version used: 0.61.0

Apply the [{{#file:courrier-authlib-0.61.0-cygwin.patch}} patch] before configuration to correct following issues:

  1. incorrect usage of EXEEXT in makedat/Makefile
  2. missing crypt library in main Makefile
  3. incorrect or incompatible (text-)format of install library files (*.la). Unix like library name (as provided by 'dlname') are not used under cygwin. Hence skip the related operation in the installation.

Install the patch 

$ patch -Np1 < courrier-authlib-0.61.0-cygwin.patch

Configure the package without most authentication modules, keeping only userdb.

Note: replace mailuser by an existing user name (in your /etc/passwd file). I used my own username. 

$ ./configure --disable-root-check --with-waitfunc=wait --without-authpam --without-authldap --without-authpwd \
--without-authshadow --without-custom --without-authpipe --without-authmysql --without-authpgsql --with-mailuser=mailuser \
--with-mailgroup=mkgroup-l-d

Take a long pause... and when ready execute the following command. The LDFLAGS and LIBS variables are used to correct the second issue. 

$ make LDFLAGS=-lcrypt LIBS=-lcrypt

Take again a long pause... then check the result and install the libraries 

$ make check
$ make install

Compilation and installation

Download and untar package courier-imap in your favorite sandbox. Version used: 4.4.1.20080920

Apply the [{{#file:courrier-imap-4.4.1-cygwin.patch}} patch] before configuration to correct following issues:

  1. incorrect usage of EXEEXT in makedat/Makefile
  2. incorrect usage of EXTEXT in main Makefile
  3. remove usage of /usr/lib/env in start/stop script (/usr/lib/env does not seem to work under Cygwin)

Install the patch 

$ patch -Np1 < courrier-imap-4.4.1-cygwin.patch

Configure the package 

$ ./configure --disable-root-check --with-waitfunc=wait

Take a walk... and when ready execute the following command to build the package. 

$ make

Time to go for some coffee... and then install the package with the usual 

$ make install
$ make install-configure

Configuration

Set ADDRESS to a valid value (0 or 127.0.0.1) and change IMAP_ULIMITD in $prefix/etc/imapd (where $prefix=/usr/lib/courier-imap) to a value accepted by the command ulimit. I simply used the existing value returned by 

$ ulimit -v

Running

Install and configure syslogd package. Run the Cygwin setup program. Locate, select and install inetutils (contain syslogd). Configure syslogd with 

$ syslogd-config

Start the daemon with the following command: 

$ /usr/lib/courier-imap/libexec/imapd.rc start

Stop the daemon with the following command: 

$ /usr/lib/courier-imap/libexec/imapd.rc stop

You'll find the logging in /var/log/messages (default target file as specified in /etc/syslogd.conf)

Maildir

maildirmake is part of the courier-imap package
