Here's my /etc/pam.d/imap: auth required pam_unix_auth.so account required pam_unix_acct.so password required pam_unix_passwd.so session required pam_unix_session.so Does yours look something like this?

Are you using the "{host}INBOX" format? Try opening a connection
to the server yourself.
~$ telnet localhost 143
Enter these commands:
A1 LOGIN name pass
A1 STATUS INBOX (unseen)
That should tell you how many new message are in the Inbox. Did
that work? If it did, it's a Mutt problem. Otherwise, the problem
is somewhere else. You can look in ~/Maildir/cur and
~/Maildir/new to see if there are any actual messages in there.

No, you don't need subfolders; i was just demonstrating how to
use them.

I'm using Postfix, Courier-imap, and Mutt successfully. You have to use 'maildirmake.courier Maildir' in the user's home directory, which will create ~/Maildir. This is the INBOX courier uses. Then, if you want to create sub-folders (for example, a sent box) use a command like this: ~$ maildirmake.courier-imap -f Sent Maildir This will create ~/Maildir/.Sent which you can access via IMAP as INBOX.Sent. -- Eric Gillespie, Jr. <*> [EMAIL PROTECTED] "When I give food to the poor I am called a saint, when I ask why they go hungry I am called a communist" --Bishop Helder Camara pgpMtohT2hHiV.pgp Description: PGP signature
maildir & imap
I would like to install courier-imap on my server, so I can get some system in the way all the mails are stored. But I never used a maildir type mailbox before. However, I cannot find any sufficient docs. I know I have to configure procmail accordingly which was rather easy. Then I ran maildirmake.courier with several names. It worked since mutt was able to read the mail. But the imap server keeps telling me there is no mailbox. Could anyone tell me the correct name or point me to some better docs?
