Install Dovecot to configure POP/IMAP server. POP uses 110/TCP, IMAP uses 143/TCP

This example shows to configure to provide SASL function to Postfix.

[root@mail ~]# vi /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf

# line 24: uncomment
protocols = imap pop3 lmtp

# line 30: uncomment and change ( if not use IPv6 )
listen = *

[root@mail ~]# vi /etc/dovecot/conf.d/10-auth.conf

# line 10: uncomment and change ( allow plain text auth )
disable_plaintext_auth = no

# line 100: add
auth_mechanisms = plain login

[root@mail ~]# vi /etc/dovecot/conf.d/10-mail.conf

# line 30: uncomment and add
mail_location = maildir:~/Maildir

[root@mail ~]# vi /etc/dovecot/conf.d/10-master.conf

# line 96-98: uncomment and add like follows
# Postfix smtp-auth
unix_listener /var/spool/postfix/private/auth {

}

[root@mail ~]# vi /etc/dovecot/conf.d/10-ssl.conf
# line 8: change (not require SSL)

[root@mail ~]# systemctl start dovecot

[root@mail ~]# systemctl enable dovecot

Dovecot automatically create a folders for us 🙂

vim /etc/dovecot/conf.d/20-imap.conf

At the end of file paste following code

plugin {
autocreate = Trash
autocreate2 = Junk
autocreate3 = Drafts
autocreate4 = Sent
autosubscribe = Trash
autosubscribe2 = Junk
autosubscribe3 = Drafts
autosubscribe4 = Sent
}

Results:

# Space separated list of plugins to load (default is global mail_plugins).

mail_plugins = $mail_plugins
plugin {
autocreate = Trash
autocreate2 = Junk
autocreate3 = Drafts
autocreate4 = Sent
autosubscribe = Trash
autosubscribe2 = Junk
autosubscribe3 = Drafts
autosubscribe4 = Sent
}

Having problems with folders?

Check out the /home/username/Maildir to see if all the directory are created. If not here is the list of folder to create:

.Trash
.Junk
.Drafts
.Sent

* Make sure to add the folders to roundcube in the “Manage Folders”

Also you have to Change ownership to user:user you have created.

Working now on the .Inbox problem, will keep you posted

Why I don’t receive my email into the .Inbox?

phpMyAdmin is part of Extra Packages for Enterprise Linux (EPEL), which is a community repository of non-standard packages for the RHEL distribution. First, we’ll install the EPEL repository:

rpm -iUvh http://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/7/x86_64/e/epel-release-7-5.noarch.rpm

First, you’ll follow a simple best practice: ensuring the list of available packages is up to date before installing anything new.

yum -y update

Then it’s a matter of just running one command for installation via apt-get:

yum -y install phpmyadmin

Step 3: Find Your IP Address

To secure phpMyAdmin we should lock down access to a specific IP address. When the phpMyAdmin package is installed, an Apache Virtual Host file is added to configure web access. Let’s edit that file:

vim /etc/httpd/conf.d/phpMyAdmin.conf

By default, the configuration for phpMyAdmin only allows access from the server on which it is installed. Find the following sections and change each IP address to the one you found in Step 3, or another IP address that will be connecting to phpMyAdmin remotely:

Require ip 127.0.0.1

Allow from 127.0.0.1

Require ip 127.0.0.1

Allow from 127.0.0.1

Then exit and save the file with the command :wq .

Restart Apache:

systemctl restart httpd

Verify that phpMyAdmin is working by visiting http://the_IP_of_your_server/phpmyadmin. For example: http://1.2.3.4/phpmyadmin

Also you will have to go remove the password authetification in the phpmyadmin conf file

After those steps simply create a user with the desired password and all privilege granted!

Et voilà!

Up and running good
