If you are intended to use imapd and ipopd services then keep the both binaries. Cleanup after work [root@deep /]# cd /var/tmp [root@deep tmp]# rm -rf imap-version/ imap-version.tar.Z The “rm” command will remove all the source files we have used to compile and install IMAP/POP. It will also remove the IMAP/POP compressed archive from the “/var/tmp” directory. Configurations All software we describe in this book has a specific directory and subdirectory in a tar compressed archive named “floppy.tgz” containing file configurations for the specific program. If you get this archive file, you wouldn’t be obliged to reproduce the different configuration files bellow manually or cut and past them to create your configuration files. Whatever your decide to copy manually or get the files made to your convenience from the archive compressed files, it will be to your responsibility to modify, adjust for your needs and place the files related to IMAP/POP software to their appropriated places on your server machine, like show bellow. The server configuration files archive to download is located at the following Internet address: http://pages.infinit.net/lotus1/opendocs/floppy.tgz · To run IMAP/POP server, the following files are require and must be create or copied to their appropriated directories on your server. Copy the imap file to the “/etc/pam.d/” directory if you’re intended to use imapd service. Copy the pop file to the “/etc/pam.d/’ directory if you’re intended to use  popd service. You can obtain configuration files listed bellow on our floppy.tgz archive. Copy the following files from the decompressed floppy.tgz archive to their appropriated places or copy and paste them directly from this book to the concerned file. Configuration of the “/etc/pam.d/imap” file Configure your “/etc/pam.d/imap” file to use pam authentication.
