.SH "DESCRIPTION"
.PP
\fBmakeimapaccess\fR
rebuilds the contents of the
/etc/courier/imapaccess\&.dat
database from the contents of the files in the
/etc/courier/imapaccess
directory\&. When the
\fBimapd\fR
script starts
\fBcouriertcpd\fR, the script specifies the
/etc/courier/imapaccess\&.dat
file to control access to the
Courier
mail server\*(Aqs IMAP daemon\&. The
\fBmakeimapaccess\fR
script must be run before any changes in the
/etc/courier/imapaccess
directory take effect\&.

.PP
The
\m[blue]\fB\fBcouriertcpd\fR(8)\fR\m[]\&\s-2\u[1]\d\s+2
manual page describes the generic format of the access file\&. The access file specifies what should be done with connections from defined IP address ranges\&. The basic choices are to accept or reject the connection\&. Also, the generic format of the access file allows arbitrary environment variables to be set based on the connection\*(Aqs remote IP address, however the IMAP server does not use any special environment variables on its own\&.
