ImapTest Installation

Compiling

  1. Download and compile Dovecot v1.1 sources. imaptest uses its library functions. Dovecot doesn't have any external dependencies.

    1. Get the latest RC from http://dovecot.org/releases/1.1/rc/

    2. Compiling goes the usual way: ./configure && make (there's no need for make install)

  2. Download and compile http://dovecot.org/nightly/imaptest/imaptest-latest.tar.gz

    • ./configure --with-dovecot=../dovecot-1.1 && make

    • --with-dovecot=<path> parameter is used to specify path to Dovecot v1.1 sources' root directory.

  3. Either make install or run src/imaptest directly.

You may want to modify the default configuration from #defines in src/settings.h. This isn't required, but if you run imaptest often, this way you don't have to give the same parameters every time.
