Re: [CentOS] imap on Centos 4

all, I've been trying to upgrade a mail server from Centos 3 to Centos 4, the machine runs imap with local users only. I noticed that the imap-2002d-11 package does not exist on Centos 4 and I'm guessing that cyrus-imapd is a replacement. The problem is that users cannot authenticate to cyrus -

Can anyone point me in the right direction ? thanks

Actually, the more direct replacement would be Dovecot. Cyrus can be complicated to set up and get running.
