ImapTest Installation

Compiling

  1. Download and compile Dovecot v1.1 sources. imaptest uses its library functions. Dovecot doesn't have any external dependencies.
    1. v1.1.rc1 doesn't have all the required changes yet, currently you need the latest nightly snapshot: http://dovecot.org/nightly/

    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.
