is it only in squirrelmail where you can't get mail? can you use thunderbird or another mail client to fetch mail?

[LMSSML]

Hi thanks for the awnser

But I've tested with roundcube and the problem is the same.

On Inbox I can't see any mail messages although in postqueue I can see a lot of messages

[scathefire]

yeah but can you use thunderbird to download the messages? obviously if squirrelmail fails then round cube will more than likely fail as well, since its going through apache.

try out using thunderbird or outlook or some other mail client that is NOT attached to the server.

need to determine where the problem is by determining what exactly is failing.

Hi there,

Thanks for your help I've tried to make with outlook express.

in c:\windows\system32\drivers\etc

changed hosts to :

<ip> <hostname>

tried to make recive but it's not downloading.

[scathefire]

is it timing out? is a connection refused? what error message is it giving you?

[LMSSML]

Hi there,

It does not present errors it login using pop3 and makes the check to the password and then logout.

See it in /var/log/mail.log

Thanks for the help.

I'm gonna assume you using virtual directories (via mysql). You're directory should look something like this:

/etc/dovecot.conf
mail_location = maildir:/var/spool/mail/virtual/%d/%u

you may want to check your mail_privileged_group and your mail_access_groups.

and to activate mysql
userdb sql {
arg = /etc/dovecot-mysql.conf
}

Dovecot usually has its own logs. Does it have anything in it?

Also you have to build a dovecot mysql connection:

dovecot-mysql.conf
driver = mysql
connect = host=localhost dbname=postfix user=postfix password=abc123
default_pass_scheme = MD5
password_query = SELECT password FROM mailbox WHERE username = '%u' AND active = '1'
user_query = SELECT maildir, 89 AS uid, 89 AS gid FROM mailbox WHERE username = '%u' AND active = '1'

89 is the postfix UID and GID, and make sure that

hi

once again thanks

I've removed dovecot and used courier imap but the thing is that Icouldn0t recive the mails on inbox but i could see it with command postqueue -p

So i couldn't understand if my path to the mailbox is wrong or what is the path for the mailbox.

I'm confused.

Thanks in advanced

[scathefire]

After you have verified your paths are correct, you have to be sure that the permissions are correct. That is the Mailbox application's UID are capable of reading/writing to the directory that is defined.

Basically check to ensure the user that courier is invoked as has permission to read/write to it.
