Thanks all. This is solved now. The problem was that I created a directory "maildir" meanwhile the system was looking for "Maildir". The difference was the upper case letters. These things look small but they are important.

Either the maildir doesn't exist, or the user doesn't have permission to read it. Run "authtest manager". If there is a Maildir entry, take a look at the permissions for that folder. If there is no Maildir entry, look at the "Maildir" folder in the home directory. The authtest will also show you the effective UID and GID for the login. This user must have read/write permissions for the maildir. -- Bowie ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- -- Come build with us!
