Probably a namespace issue. The imap daemon is telling you there's not new mail. So wherever it's looking it sees no mail. So either it's looking in the wrong place, and the configuration isn't correct. Error logs will inform you about the latter, 'dovecot -n' about the former. Show dovecot client connection and error logging, and dovecot -n. -- Stan > I will first demonstrate correct delivery of mail, then I will show MUA - > domain names changed to protect the innocent ! > > (1) Mail Delivery > > Aug 2 08:57:17 ukc-vm02-mx01 postfix/smtpd[2640]: connect from > unknown[192.168.199.198] > Aug 2 08:57:39 ukc-vm02-mx01 postfix/smtpd[2640]: 76AB04470E: > client=unknown[192.168.199.198] > Aug 2 08:57:47 ukc-vm02-mx01 postfix/cleanup[2644]: 76AB04470E: message-id=<> > Aug 2 08:57:47 ukc-vm02-mx01 postfix/qmgr[2093]: 76AB04470E: > from=<[email protected]>, size=208, nrcpt=1 (queue active) > Aug 2 08:57:47 ukc-vm02-mx01 dovecot: lmtp(2192): Debug: none: root=, > index=, control=, inbox=, alt= > Aug 2 08:57:47 ukc-vm02-mx01 dovecot: lmtp(2192): Connect from local > Aug 2 08:57:47 ukc-vm02-mx01 dovecot: lmtp(2192): Debug: auth input: > [email protected] uid=1001 gid=1001 home=/srv/mail/ops.example.com/test/./ > Aug 2 08:57:47 ukc-vm02-mx01 dovecot: lmtp(2192, [email protected]): > Debug: Effective uid=1001, gid=1001, home=/srv/mail/ops.example.com/test > Aug 2 08:57:47 ukc-vm02-mx01 dovecot: lmtp(2192, [email protected]): > Debug: maildir++: root=/srv/mail/ops.example.com/test, index=, control=, > inbox=/srv/mail/ops.example.com/test, alt= > Aug 2 08:57:47 ukc-vm02-mx01 dovecot: lmtp(2192, [email protected]): > ZH9VM3tm+1GQCAAAwf4bjw: msgid=unspecified: saved mail to INBOX > Aug 2 08:57:47 ukc-vm02-mx01 postfix/lmtp[2645]: 76AB04470E: > to=<[email protected]>, > relay=ukc-vm02-mx01.ops.example.com[private/dovecot-lmtp], delay=24, > delays=24/0.01/0/0.09, dsn=2.0.0, status=sent (250 2.0.0 > <[email protected]> ZH9VM3tm+1GQCAAAwf4bjw Saved) > Aug 2 08:57:47 ukc-vm02-mx01 dovecot: lmtp(2192): Disconnect from local: > Client quit (in reset) > Aug 2 08:57:47 ukc-vm02-mx01 postfix/qmgr[2093]: 76AB04470E: removed > Aug 2 08:57:48 ukc-vm02-mx01 postfix/smtpd[2640]: disconnect from > unknown[192.168.199.198] > > The mail is correctly saved in the right place….. > > # cat > /srv/mail/ops.ops.example.com/test/new/1375430267.M868397P2192.ukc-vm02-mx01\,S\=477\,W\=486 > > Return-Path: <[email protected]> > Delivered-To: <[email protected]> > Received: from ukc-vm02-mx01.ops.ops.example.com > by ukc-vm02-mx01.ops.ops.example.com (Dovecot) with LMTP id > ZH9VM3tm+1GQCAAAwf4bjw > for <[email protected]>; Fri, 02 Aug 2013 08:57:47 +0100 > Received: from x (unknown [192.168.199.198]) > by ukc-vm02-mx01.ops.ops.example.com (Postfix) with ESMTP id > 76AB04470E > for <[email protected]>; Fri, 2 Aug 2013 08:57:24 +0100 (BST) > Subject: test > > > (2) MUA > > > * OK [CAPABILITY IMAP4rev1 LITERAL+ SASL-IR LOGIN-REFERRALS ID ENABLE IDLE > AUTH=PLAIN] Dovecot ready. > a1 LOGIN [email protected] test > a1 OK [CAPABILITY IMAP4rev1 LITERAL+ SASL-IR LOGIN-REFERRALS ID ENABLE IDLE > SORT SORT=DISPLAY THREAD=REFERENCES THREAD=REFS MULTIAPPEND UNSELECT CHILDREN > NAMESPACE UIDPLUS LIST-EXTENDED I18NLEVEL=1 CONDSTORE QRESYNC ESEARCH ESORT > SEARCHRES WITHIN CONTEXT=SEARCH LIST-STATUS] Logged in > a2 EXAMINE INBOX > * FLAGS (\Answered \Flagged \Deleted \Seen \Draft) > * OK [PERMANENTFLAGS ()] Read-only mailbox. > * 0 EXISTS > * 0 RECENT > * OK [UIDVALIDITY 1375424854] UIDs valid > * OK [UIDNEXT 1] Predicted next UID > * OK [HIGHESTMODSEQ 1] Highest > a2 OK [READ-ONLY] Select completed. > a3 LOGOUT > * BYE Logging out > a3 OK Logout completed. > closed >
