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 12## Set-up tests on Ubuntu (checked on Ubuntu 18.04 (Bionic)) 13The necessary packages can be installed using the following command; 14`apt-get install libc-client-dev libkrb5-dev dovecot-core dovecot-pop3d dovecot-imapd sendmail` 15 16The build of PHP will need to be compiled with the following flags: 17``` 18--with-imap --with-kerberos --with-imap-ssl 19``` 20 21Then run the set-up script `ext/imap/tests/setup/setup.sh` which will add the `vmail` 22group and user which is used by Dovecot for the mailbox. It will also copy the 23`ext/imap/tests/setup/dovecot.conf` and `ext/imap/tests/setup/dovecotpass` to the correct 24location for Dovecot and restarts it for the new configuration to be enabled. 25
