Is there something similair for postfix? There may be, but I am not a user so I could not recommend one. Some people speak of webmin but personally I have command line scripts to manage my setup.

I do not use that pop3 - I use dovecot so I cannot really help you. However, a look at: http://www.courier-mta.org/pop3d.html refers to a config file: /etc/courier/pop3d Further use of google took me here which has some information I would find useful if I were using that server: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/hints/downloads/files/OLD/courier.txt > I cant recall i edited any config that has mail_location either, or > atleast i cant find it. > > Best regards, > > Ruud Cutting to the chase here and not confusing yourself, the log error you have specifically points to pop3d not being able to find your directory. This is either because it does not exist or it is looking in the wrong place. It is no more complex than that so do not confuse yourself. You may be best to ask on a courier mail list. If after solving your directory issues you have other Postfix issues be sure to check back here for help. -- ----------------------------------------------------------- C Werclick .Lot Technical incompetent Loyal Order Of The Teapot.
