I'm new to networking.
I need to set up a email server and I also need to create an email address.
ex.
muazam@mydomain.com
I've installed squirrelmail and dovecot.
http://www.mydomain.com/squirrelmail/src/login.php
Shows a log in screen, but when I try to log in I get this error:
Error connecting to IMAP server:
127.0.0.1. 111 : Connection refused
I have no experience with squirrelmail and dovecote.
Anyone can help me out, I really appreciate it.
Thanks!

You also need an SMTP-server. I suggest postfix. (
apt-get install postfix
)Then, you should make sure that you use the `~/Maildir'. If this folder doesn't exist or you gave it the wrong permissions, this is a common error. Make sure you configure Postfix to use it:
If it is still not working, try telnetting into your machine and test it that way.
Test SMTP (port 25)
Test IMAP (port 143)
Test POP3 (port 110)
If that works, your squirlmail should be fine too.
