I have installed fetchmail and cyrus imap rpms on my machine in the

my local machine.
But I can't seem to be able to figure out how to configure them so
they work together. I have been trying to do this for months and have
not had any success. Can anyone point me to a site or howto that
shows me how to do this step my step? Most of the sites I have seen
show me how to do this from a compiled version of both but I was not
able to compile and install them properly which is why I moved to rpms.
I find dovecot much easier to work with as opposed to cyrus. Maybe you
can give that a try.
Unfortunately I started with cyrus before I got to read this email and now I think Im to far into it
to turn from it now. So I am trying to do this systematically. Right now it seems I can telnet to
the the IMAP server but I can't seem to connect to it with my client. When I connect to it via
telnet I get the following response:
[lmcilwain@localhost ~]$ telnet localhost 143
Trying 127.0.0.1...
Connected to localhost.localdomain (127.0.0.1).
Escape character is '^]'.
* OK localhost.localdomain Cyrus IMAP4 v2.2.12-Invoca-RPM-2.2.12-6.fc4 server ready
But when I try to connect to localhost via my mail client it tells me that its a failed connection
after specifying my password.
Whats so weird is that I didn't specify a password to telnet to it via the command prompt. Any
ideas of what I maybe doing wrong?
