    Hi everyone,

    i think finally my certificate has been installed properly, i did:
    …………………………………………………………………………………
    /sbin/ifconfig

    lo Link encap: Local Loopback
         inet addr: 127.0.0.1 Mask: 255.0.0.0
         inet6 addr : ::1/128 Scope Host
         RX packets: 434 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0
         TX packets: 434 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0
         collisions:0 txqueuelen:0
         RX bytes:29866 (29.1 Kb) TX bytes:29866 (29.1 Kb)
    …………………………………………………………………………………

    so i assume that my computer IP is 127.0.0.1...so i entered "Common Name:
    127.0.0.1" when editing my certificate...did i type the correct parameter??

    On the other hand I also edited imap file as explained at
    http://www.davidkrider.com/suse_8.2.php :

    ………………………………………………………………………………………
    Imap – imap mail daemon over tls/ssl
    service imaps
    {
            disable = no
            socket_type = stream
            protocol = tcp
            wait = no
            user = root
            server = /usr/sbin/imapd
            server_args = -s
            flags = IPv4
    }
    ………………………………………………………………………………………….
    I added the "server_args=-s" as recommended. Finally I typed:
    …………………………………………………………………………………………..
    rcxinetd reload
    Reload INET services (xinetd). done

    netstat –a –inet
    Active Internet connections (servers and established)
    Proto Recv –Q Send-Q Local address Foreing Address
    State
    Tcp 0 0 *:imaps
    *;* LISTEN
    Tcp 0 0 *:sunrpc
    *;* LISTEN
    Tcp 0 0 *:ipp
        *;* LISTEN
    Tcp 0 0 *:localhost:smtp *;*
                          LISTEN
    udp 0 0 *:filenet-tms
    *;*
    udp 0 0 *:fmdns
    *;*
    udp 0 0 *:bootpc
    *;*
    udp 0 0 *:ipp
        *;*
    …………………………………………………………………………………………..

    so I assume everything is ok with the installation….right??
    however I have not found the way to read any incoming mail with my client
    Evolution jeje

    desperately I installed Mozilla Mail client wich is a web based client…and
    started the configuration… however I stuck when the system asked the
    following questions

    1.-Select the type of incoming server you are using
          I entered IMAP
    2.-Enter the name of the incoming server (for example, “mail.example.net”)
               ??????
    3.-Enter the name of your outgoing server (SMTP) (for example,
    “smtp.example.net”)
               ?????

    I really don’t know what to enter in such fields. I think outgoing server
    (SMTP) is postfix and I should enter the hostame: linux.site. And probably
    the incoming server should be my imap server but I don’t know its name!!

    Any help or link to find out??
    Really sorry for all these bothering questions but is the only way the get
    my system working…
    Thanks for your support!!
    Juan
