Hi All,I am trying to adapt a tutorial for setting a mail server in Arch Linux [1] to Debian. I completed up to the step of PostfixAdmin, and I perfectly can send e-mails from it and add users and domains to the database. Looking at /home/vmail, I also checked that I can receive e-mails. Before setting up Roundcube, I wanted to try accessing with Thunderbird, but I am getting the message of Incorrect username or password. Looking at the logs, on mail.log I can see: Jan 3 00:32:52 cub3 imapd: Connection, ip=[::ffff:80.35.195.218] Jan 3 00:32:53 cub3 imapd: chdir Maildir: No such file or directory Jan 3 00:32:53 cub3 imapd: [email protected]: No such file or directory But: # ls /home/vmail/ [email protected] # ls /home/vmail/[email protected]/ cur new tmp # ls /home/vmail/[email protected]/new/ 1325457494.Vca00I4f096M587089.cub3 1325457546.Vca00I4f099M501611.cub3 1325471089.Vca00I4f78fM130501.cub3 So the directories exist...
If you specified the given account's home directory, Courier expects the account's Maildir to exist at $HOME/Maildir.
understand from the documentation, a maildir is actually a hierachy of subfolders (./new, ./cur, ./tmp, etc), which is usually located at /home/user/Maildir.
Correct.
In the setup I'm trying, this hierarchy hangs from
/home/vmail/user@domain/ . Actually, postfix creates this architecture
of folders when I set-up a mail user and send an e-mail to it.
According to the config files, Courier should look at these folders,
No, by default, given a specified account home directory, Courier will look at $HOME/Maildir. This can be changed by changing the MAILDIRPATH setting in the imapd configuration file.
