Hi,
I've installed exim and imapd, but when connecting to the imap service
with thunderbird I don't see any of the mail. What do I have to
change so that all mail that comes to exim gets put in a place where
imapd can process it? Thanks.
I had this working when exim was running under Cygwin on my XP box. I
have since moved exim and imap over to a Linux box.
Are you sure that the imapd is responding? Try "telnet localhost imap".
Does it respond?
Do you have email in /var/mail/<username>? Send yourself and email.
Check exim's log file to insure it was delivered. Check
/var/mail/<username> to make sure it was dropped in your inbox. Check
that the imapd service "answers the call".
You might also check to see if POP is working...
