I know how to create maildir now. I 'su' to test1 then did './maildirmake $HOME/testdir'. I wonder that means Unix accont test1 has a maildir testdir. What else should I do to link 'testdir' and 'test1', sot that user test1's mail box is 'testdir'? Can you give me an exmaple?

Thank you so much Sam! Now I know my problems. I am trying to use Courier IMAP instead of Cyrus IMAP, because I think I can get better performance. Cyrus has an admin tool to create users, that's why I am asking. Anyways... You got me there. I don't know much of maildir. Do I need to install maildir? Can you have me an example of how to link a user(e.g. Unix user) and his/her maildir and home directory? I tried to search in the web. But I don't know where to get maildir and how to use it. Please forgive me for asking so many silly questions. Really appreciate your help.

Furthermore, had you followed the instructions in INSTALL, you would've built binary RPMs that correctly set everything up. > Sep 24 21:18:38 bwc-imap-01 imapd: LOGIN, user=suli1, > ip=[::ffff:10.101.85.33] > Sep 24 21:18:38 bwc-imap-01 imapd: chdir Maildir: No such file or directory And did you create the Maildir for this user?

What "admin tool" do you require to insert a row into a pgsql table, and then create the corresponding home directory, and maildir? ------------------------------------------------------- This sf.net email is sponsored by:ThinkGeek Welcome to geek heaven. http://thinkgeek.com/sf _______________________________________________ courier-users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] Unsubscribe: https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/courier-users ------------------------------------------------------- This sf.net email is sponsored by:ThinkGeek Welcome to geek heaven. http://thinkgeek.com/sf _______________________________________________ courier-users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] Unsubscribe: https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/courier-users ------------------------------------------------------- This sf.net email is sponsored by:ThinkGeek Welcome to geek heaven. http://thinkgeek.com/sf _______________________________________________ courier-users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] Unsubscribe: https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/courier-users
