SquirrelMail Configuration Easy Steps (SquirrelMail + Sendmail + Apache On RedHat/CentOS/Fedora) - Page 2

Step 8:

Incoming Mail Server Configuration (Dovecot):

Open /etc/dovecot.conf and change the following lines.

From:

#protocols = imap  pop3

To:

protocols = imap imaps pop3 pop3s

Save and exit and restart dovecot service.

  service dovecot restart

Step 9:

Webserver Configuration (Apache):

Apache comes pre-configured, you just have to change the ServerName parameter in /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf file and restart the service, that’s all. Open /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf and set the ServerName parameter.

ServerName www.abc.com

Save and exit and restart httpd service.
