    Hello Richard,

    Been spending the afternoon trying to set this up. Everything went fine until I came to the point where I run this:

    
    mini:~/Desktop/courier-imap-4.1.2 j$ sudo make install-configure
    make install-configure-local DESTDIR=
    /usr/local/etc/imapd.dist: No such file or directory
    /usr/local/etc/imapd-ssl.dist: No such file or directory
    /usr/local/etc/pop3d.dist: No such file or directory
    /usr/local/etc/pop3d-ssl.dist: No such file or directory
    

    I guess I must somehow tell it to look in ./ for these files? What has gone wrong? I believe I have followed your guide down to the last detail..

    thank you

    Johan

    How strange, I tried reinstalling courier-imap from scratch and this time it worked. I must have missed something.. beats me.

    Heading for the next step. :)

    You might have missed something during the configure phase, still good to know you've got it working.

    Er.. well, it died and I tried reinstalling the whole thing using something called MailServe (successor to Postfix Enabler), however it didn't quite turn out as I expected. So today I'll give another shot at installing this. I noticed you have several guides, and they differ a little - is the guide on this site (diymacserver.com) the most recent one?

    Yes it is. This is the latest one.

    Finally succeeded with setting up the mail server, however without virtual domains and MySQL - a little overkill for me as I have only two domains with a total of one user (me) :) Thank you, your guide has been helpful!
