Configuring the IMAP4 Server
To configure the IMAP4 server:
- In IMail Administrator, select "localhost" in the left panel.
- Select the "Services" folder and click on IMAP4. The IMAP4 tab appears.
- Enter the options you want to use to configure the IMAP4 server.
Each option is described at the end of this procedure.
- Click Apply to save your changes.
- After making changes, stop the service, wait five to ten seconds and restart the service. Any changes that you make are saved automatically as soon as you press the Stop/Start button.
Logging Options
In the Log To box, select the way you want to log IMAP4 events:
- sysMMDD.TXT. This sends event information to a file of this name where mm is the month and dd is the day the log was written. This file is stored in the Spool directory.
- No Log. Select this to turn off the logging of events.
- App Log. This sends event information to the Windows NT Application Log (viewed with the Windows NT Event Viewer.)
- Log Server. This sends event information to the Log Server file indicated on the Log Files tab.
Debug Messages. Turn this on to write debug messages to the log file.
Force subscribe to public mailboxes. Turn this on to require that the IMAP4 client is subscribed to use a public mailbox. If the user is not a subscriber, he is refused access. Note that subscribing to a mailbox is a protocol command; there is no way for a user to subscribe to a mailbox unless the client application provides this capability.
Force subscribe to private mailboxes. Turn this on to require that the IMAP4 client is subscribed to use a private mailbox. If the user is not a subscriber, he is refused access. Note that subscribing to a mailbox is a protocol command; there is no way for a user to subscribe to a mailbox unless the client application provides this capability.
Server Status. A status message to the left of the Start/Stop button shows the version number, and whether or not the service is running.
Start/Stop Service. This button toggles between Start and Stop depending on whether or not the service is running.
Changing the IMAP Welcome Message
When you log on to IMAP, the service responds with a "welcome message" that identifies the mail server version, vendor and operating system. You can change the welcome message to hide this information. Changing the message may help protect your server from spammer or hacker attacks. See "Changing Service Welcome Message for SMTP, POP3, and IMAP4".
