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

IMAP accounts

User accounts and settings are managed by userdb.

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 log messages in /var/log/messages (default target file as specified in /etc/syslogd.conf)

Maildir

maildirmake is part of the courier-imap package
