If the default IMAP of Mandrake is UW-IMAP I have some experience, but I think Qmail is the key to your ordeal. > These are my folders in my SM: > INBOX > INBOX.Drafts > INBOX.Sent > INBOX.Trash > Drafts > Sent > Trash > > Now, when I compose a mail in SM and sent, the mail is > sent to my INBOX.SENT but there is no mail in INBOX. Storing a copy of a outgoing mail in INBOX.SENT is done by SquirrelMail, and that seem to work. The issue of not receiving the mail to INBOX is most likely related to Qmail. > When I tried to move the mail to INBOX, I got the > error: > ERROR : Could not complete request. > Query: COPY 1 "INBOX" > Reason Given: COPY failed: Can't open append mailbox: > Permission denied Check the file and folder permissions for the file where incoming mails are stored. > When I clicked on Drafts, Sent and Trash these 3 > folders, I got these error: > ERROR : Could not complete request. > Query: SELECT "Drafts" > Reason Given: SELECT failed: Can't open mailbox > Drafts: no such mailbox I think that SquirrelMail set up the folders I needed during the installation and the first login. > Btw, where is my INBOX, I dont seem to define it > anywhere in the SM config.php For UW-IMAP installed using apt-get on a Debian installation without virtual users, the INBOX is "/var/mail/[username]" (or "~/mbox"). I'm sorry, but I'm not a very experienced user. On my own system, "~/.mailboxlist" contains a list with the subscribed folders, but there's also IMAP settings which I don't know much about. Maybe someone else on the list might help you. > Do you mind if you tell me how you set up the whole > thing from scratch from a fresh install of Mandrake or > other Linux? eg what software to install first and > what settings/config to set up. All I did was to untar the SquirrelMail 1.4.2 package in a folder which the webserver could access. To begin with I made all of it world wide accessible (chmod -R 777 *) and used "config/conf.pl" options 1, 2 and 4 accordingly. Then I started playing with file permissions, trying to secure things as much as possible, i.e. removing the possiblity for others but myself to write files and run scripts. When I found out that all users preferences was easily accessible and readable by anyone, I moved and renamed the data folder, and changed "config/conf.pl" option 4.2 accordingly. Read more about installation in the file "INSTALLATION" and the directory "doc/", and at <http://www.squirrelmail.org/wiki/en_US/InstallingSquirrelMail>. > I'm really lost since I'm new to linux. > > I really hope if you could help me figured out what's > wrong. Thanks in advance. Sorry that I couldn't help you more. Sincerly, Fredrik. PS. I took the liberty to post your mail to the list, since other might benefit by this discussion or help you more than I can.
