Ah ha! Thank you. I did not know that this would require a custom configuration.This is a Stock Mandrake imap distribution. Are you saying that this isThere are no errors in the Imap Server logs (UW - Imap), but I did get the following:
ERROR : Could not complete request. Query: CREATE "mail/Sent" Reason Given: CREATE failed: Can't create mailbox node /home/aewhale/Mail/mail/: Permission denied
1. I think you have custom uw build that defaults to ~/Mail/ directory. I think Folder prefix has to be set to empty value in such cases.
broken?
it is not default behavior. It is like going into supermarket and not
finding cigarets next to the counter.
So this brings me to the next question, Which is the best Imap Server for this type of an installation?
Thanks, this is very interesting and helpful. Currently our WebServer permits the User Authentication for it and on the Mail Server. Though I certainly see the benefits, Users with Web Sites .... you know the story I'm sure. However, in this day, I recommend using scp or sftp instead of ftp or ttp.2. It is possible that imap can't create those folders, because somebody
broke permisions of Mail directory on IMAP server.
/home/some-username/Mail directory must be readable and writeable by user
whos name is 'some-username'.
Mail spool is located at /var/spool/mail/ on email server.
I was talking about user's home directory on email/imap server.
If you have user aewhale and use standard setup with sendmail or postfix + emails stored in /var/spool/mail + uw imap server, user aewhale should be able to : a) write into /var/spool/mail/aewhale on email server b) write into own home directory. Usually /home/aewhale on email server.
If you use squirrelmail, webserver's user should be able to write into
squirrelmail data and attachment directories on webserver. You don't have to copy user accounts from email server to webserver. Webserver needs only
standard system accounts and ftp or sftp accounts for websites
Would still like to hear your oppinnion on the imap server you'd use.
