Hi ...

I am running Horde 2.1 and IMP 3.1 and PHP 4.2.3

The postfix server is the same machine where IMP is installed.

I have installed all the necessary modules and the test.php file says that
everything is fine.

However, it will not log me in. I have tried both POP3 and IMAP.

I can retrieve my mail using Outlook Express while on the road so the
postfix setup is fine.

The server is behind a firewall so I have opened up ports 25, 110 and 143

I get the login window but when I enter my username and password ... it just
sits there grinding for a long time.

Interesting enough, horde does not log any errors. In fact, the log file is
0 bytes since I started twiddling with this thing.

The log file is /tmp/horde.log

Here is my servers.php

----------------

$servers['imap'] = array(

'name' => 'IMAP Server',

'server' => 'mail.myserver.com',

'protocol' => 'imap/notls',

'port' => 143,

'folders' => 'mail/',

'namespace' => '',

'maildomain' => 'myserver.com',

'smtphost' => 'myserver.com',

'realm' => 'myserver.com',

'preferred' => ''

);

--------------------------

One clue, if I change the mail.myserver.com in the 'server' line above ...
to the internal IP address of the server (192.168.0.x) ... I am able to log
in ... and it shows my INBOX and the number of messages. When I click on the
INBOX ... it says PAGE not found. But why does it *not* log me in when the
[server] is [myserver.com] ?

Thanks !!!

Max
