1# The imap extension tests 2 3Many of the tests in this directory require a mail server to be running, if 4there is no mail server the test will skip and warn, see skipif.inc for details. 5 6To make the tests run parameters in the `skipif.inc` and `imap_include.inc` 7files will need to be changed to match the local mailserver configuration. 8 9The tests have been checked using dovecot (on Linux 32 and 64 bit systems) and 10hMailServer on Windows. The tests are intended to be mailserver agnostic. 11 12The tests can be run without modification with a fairly minimal dovecot 13installation. For information, the dovecot.conf file used in running the tests 14is given below. The dovecot password file (dovecotpass) requires a password for 15one user, `webmaster@something.com`. It's also necessary to set up one 16additional user ID (vmail) to own the mail directory. 17 18```txt 19protocols = imap imaps 20 21listen = * 22 23ssl_disable = yes 24 25disable_plaintext_auth=yes 26 27## Mailbox locations and namespaces 28 29mail_location = maildir:/home/vmail/mail/%d/%n/Maildir 30 31auth_verbose = yes 32 33auth_debug = yes 34 35auth default { 36 mechanisms = login 37 38 passdb passwd-file { 39 args = /etc/dovecot/dovecotpass 40 } 41 42 userdb static { 43 args = uid=11459 gid=1002 home=/home/vmail/dovecot/mail/%d/%n 44 } 45 46 user = root 47} 48``` 49
