Ya.., its not so difficult ...
1. just go to /etc/xinetd.d/imap
Change disable=yes to disable=no
2. go to /etc/xinetd/ipop3
Change disable=yes to disable=no
Start xinetd service by:
#service xinetd restart
U have to give imap server ip in squirrel configration
U have to make domain names & login by login into qmailadmin
Make any domain & any user
After that start qmail service
login from username & password
It will work
Enjoy

Hi Vijay
Have u resolved the error ,First of all check abt ur computer name
means is it local host or u have changed it , check using hostname or check it in /etc/hosts
Second thing is that it may be possible that the password u have given is not correct............................means postnaster password,
Just check the both posibilities....

Ok Vijay
Actually i have configured QMAIL recently on Both Linux Flavors (REDHAT and SUSE),Its working fine.....
And the doc given in qmailrocks.org is excelent
ok do last 1 thing .............,may be it will help u
go to vadmin console by typing
http://www.yourdomain.com/cgi-bin/vqadmin/vqadmin.cgi
(-> where yourdomain.com is the domain u set at prev step)
give the user as admin , password as u have set & just add a new domain (like test.com) , add the new user vijay@test.com, give password for this user
& after saving the changes , telnet ur server by command
#telnet localhost 110
(Note: if u have changed your hostname from localhost, then write new hostname in place of localhost)
Just
login with your new user i.e vijay@test.com & the required password)
TEST WHEATHER IT WORKS OR NOT

Hmm This is quite tricky question ............., , U have to go to each directory created during qmail... & clean it using make command
Acc to me there are 2 commands for this...
#make clean & make uninstall...
so go to each dir & fire these commands, may be it will help u
I am not sure, may be others now better
Gaurav
