ImapTest Build

INFO

ImapTest is also available in static binaries. See download for details.

Compiling

Dovecot CE

Download and compile Dovecot CE sources. Use the most recent version possible (current main branch is the best).

Two options:

• git clone the repository
• Download ZIP file of main branch

INFO

ImapTest uses Dovecot's library functions.

Dovecot doesn't have any external dependencies.

1. If using main branch, run autogen.sh.
2. Compiling goes the usual way: ./configure && make.
   • There's no need for make install.
   • ImapTest configure wants to find dovecot-config, which is created by running (and finishing) make.
   • If you want to avoid having to install shared Dovecot libraries, you can use ./configure --without-shared-libs.

ImapTest

Download and compile ImapTest.

Two options:

• git clone the repository
• Download ZIP file of main branch

1. Run autogen.sh.
2. ./configure --with-dovecot=../dovecot-nightly-compile-directory && make
   • --with-dovecot=<path> parameter is used to specify path to Dovecot CE source's root directory.
3. Either make install or run src/imaptest directly.

TIP

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.
