Server :: Courier - No Such File Or Directory When Testing IMAP And POP
Jul 28, 2010
Using the following software:
Ubuntu Server 8.04
SquirrelMail 1.4.13
Postfix 2.5.1
Courier 0.59.0 (Courier-IMAP 4.3.1)
Apache2 2.2.8
I've installed a mail server per the instructions at [url].
Neither POP nor IMAP test successfully with the user that I just added after following the setup instructions.
This doesn't make any sense. I added the user to the mysql database:
Code:
And after I did that, I ran the postfix reload command. If I try to log in as firstuser@mydomain.com, which is the user I created during the setup and configuration process, it works fine.
I checked the virtual mail account's home folder, and under the mydomain.com folder, I only see a folder for firstuser. I'd create one for testuser manually, but I don't know if that'll work since it seems to contain a particular folder structure of its own.
Is there some other command that I have to run? I don't recall having to do anything additional when setting up firstuser.

Does anyone know if there are only personal preferences between the two IMAP servers or does one of a slight advantage over the other? I've used Dovecot only in the past but my package manager loads tons of MySQL libraries with Dovecot which is a problem since that's not authorized on my server right now. I can either install it from source or try another application like Courier.

I've been running Courier IMAP for many years now, but when I added gmail's IMAP to my Outlook I noticed something interesting: when you delete a message, it gets thrown into the trash instantly.
With Courier IMAP (or any other IMAP server, for that matter), when you delete, it first marks it for deletion. Then after you Purge Deleted Messages it either gets rid of them or moves them to trash.
Is there a way to implement this in Courier IMAP?

how to install Courier IMAP server and they all say the same thing, but they keep giving me problems.URL... is a link to the page I'm working on.I created the user, edited sudoers manually since I can't effectivly use visudo in the terminal since I don't know how to save. I also made sure that I restarted after I edited it in order to make sure it took effect. I used su compileuser and just logging in as compileuser and opening a terminal. After I made the user and edited that file, I created the directory mentioned and ran the command to create .rpmmacros. After that I got to work on wgetting the files and installing them and what not. The first one compiled and installed and so did the last one. The command "rpmbuild -ta courier-imap4.6.0.tar bz2" would not go though properly. This one I need to run as a non-root user and I've tried using every way possible to be as distant from root as possible, but it still gives me this at the end.

I am administrating a server with CentOS installed. It came with qmail and courier-imap preinstalled, and Plesk.I need to manually add email accounts outside of Plesk, because my 1-domain Plesk license only allows the creation of one email address (yes, it sucks).
When I say add email account I mean creating a new email address, have email for that address be stored in its maildir, and have a corresponding imap (and hipefully also pop3) account that will be able to read that mail. All this with virtual domains.I've already found out how to create the new email addresses for qmail, so that email for the new email address is being delivered correctly. Now I need to create the imap/pop3 accounts for courier.
For the qmail part, I create a folder in in /var/qmail/mailnames/virtualdomain.org/username and a maildir called Maildir inside it. This is how the first mail address was created by Plesk and i'd like to maintain the same structure. As I've said, the qmail part is already working, I need to get the courier-imap part to work. Ideally, it should accept login with both short (i.e. myuser) and long (i.e. myuser@virtualdomain.org) user names.
Currently the only authentication module that is enabled in courier-imap is authpsa, which is Plesk's authentication module.in order to add more authentication modules, do I just need to add them to the authentication module list in /etc/courierimap/imapd, or do I need to reinstall courier-imap with support for such authentication modules? I thought I would only need to add them to the list, but I've noticed that the /usr/lib/courier-imap/authlib/ folder only contains a binary called "authpsa". Does that mean that other authentication modules are not even installed? If so, can I install them without reinstalling courier?
The second question is, what would be the most recommended authentication module that would make it easiest to create new email addresses/accounts from the command line? I need to be able to write a shell scripts capable of creating a new email address with all that is needed, and I'd like to keep this script as simple as possible, so for example I'd avoid mysql-based authentication as it sounds rather complicated. And the last question is, if I do need to reinstall courier-imap, how can I install a package without recompiling it? Will my one existing mailbox keep working?

I have installed qmail on my 10.04 server (Because I prefer qmail and dont want to use postfix) and I would like to just install courier IMAP/POP server without the Postfix (Or other mail servers).
Is there an apt-get install switch that will install just what I want to install without deps; or at least a way to block unwanted deps from being installed.

I am having weird issues with courier IMAPD, the load goes like crazy at times and users mail client just hangs! The server is having 4 GB RAM Dual Core and around 700 users connected to 143 (via netstat) and I see around same amount of imapd's in process list. Mailbox stays in SAN (fiber).
load is high: 105.52, 173.12, 113.05

I'm trying to get my server back up to snuff. I'm using Debian Squeeze right now and I'm up and atom with apache, mysql, php, pureftpd, ssh, and I have squirrelmail installed.
My dilemma comes with the mail part of the whole ordeal, Postfix and Courier are installed, have their keys made, and for what I assume, are configured correctly. HOW do I make new virtual users? My domain points to this machine as well as my MX record for mail.mydomain.com.
I need IMAP and POP working. And upon the creation of new email users, will SquirrelMail interface with Postfix and Courier? When I installed SM I set it up for use with Courier.

I have an interdependent collection of scripts in my ~/bin directory as well as a developed ~/.vim directory and some other libraries and such in other subdirectories. I've been versioning all of this using git, and have realized that it would be potentially very easy and useful to do development and testing of new and existing scripts, vim plugins, etc. using a cloned repo, and then pull the working code into my actual home directory with a merge.
The easiest way to do this would seem to be to just change & export $HOME, eg
cd ~/testing; git clone ~ home
export HOME=~/testing/home
cd ~
screen -S testing-home
# start vim, write/revise plugins, edit scripts, etc.
# test revisions
However since I've never tried this before I'm concerned that some programs, environment variables, etc., may end up using my actual home directory instead of the exported one. Is this a viable strategy? Are there just a few outliers that I should be careful about?

I have installed a linux server in my office to run 16 machines. Its main use will be a internal mail server but will be also running websites.
I have installed Ubuntu 9.10 server x64 and have got apache running.
I am looking for the simplest more robust solution for smtp, pop3 and imap. I have only ever used qmail before and found it a pain to configure and its getting old so I though I should probably try something new. I have not much experience with running pop3 or imap on linux so would love a suggestion on that.

Im looking for a way to block emails that come into the mail server for users that are no longer on the domain. I see a lot of messages in the maillog for emails coming in for people that are no longer active users on the domain.
setup:
Using spamassassin if that matters.
Using Active Directory on a windows server.
I found postfix uses this "reject_unknown_recipient_domain" in /etc/postfix/main.cf but I am unsure where this would be used in courier.
Ive seen some hints here. But not sure how to adapt this for domain users.

I'm looking for a method to sync my calendars on my IMAP server with both my Thunderbird/Lightning any my Blackberry. I found "IMAP Calendar Proxy" here recently, but it has been inactive for 5 years. I've seen people suggesting the use of services like Plaxo and such, but I don't like the idea of a third party messing with my calendars and contacts. Also, I've had to remove several viruses from computers with Plaxo, and I'm not sure if it in itself is a virus or not..... It certainly is a thorn in my side as is. This is for my personal IMAP server, so I'd prefer a free solution even if it is more difficult to install than a paid version. I mainly need it to just sync my calendar to my Blackberry and Thunderbird and couldn't care less about the contacts.
I've been Googling for things for quite some time now, and haven't really found anything that says that it will work with Blackberry and Thunderbird. They really only give a sense of maybe with nothing really defined. I can put on an Ubuntu server to sync everything? I don't want to leave my computer on all the time, and RIM has yet to come out with something decent to sync Blackberries and Thunderbird properly as far as I know.

I have had a mailserver die when it still had email that the users hadn't downloaded. I have build a new server an tried to copy the mail across but this caused a issue where users were unable to download any new email.
Is it possible to make the old undelivered email available for download?
old server name lx0.hostname.com (dead) I can get to the data but not start the server. new server name lx1.hostname.com
Both systems were running qmail with courier.

i followed this tutorial to the "T", [URL]. I am not able to login to the mailboxes with squirrelmail, it says "connection dropped by imap server" I used the whole address as a login just like it said to do. I can sucessfully authenticate with outlook express but it throws an error that say's [URL], no such file or directory. i can telnet into it remotely but when i type ehlo [URL] it just keeps showing all the 250 lines and wont let me generate a message.
from what i saw on the comments on the tutorial and googling there are many other people with this problem, however i found no solutions. This is fresh work and i have not touched any config files since finishing the tutorial

In the last week email delivery had slowed down to taking approximately 24 hours and investigation has revealed that there were 45000 emails in the mailqueue. I flushed the mailqueue yesterday but mail delivery is slowing down again because emails are again being queued by the thousand.
The mails are mainly spam sent to ficticious users at a genuine domain hosted on the server.
My setup is running Courier IMAP with Postfix, Spassassin is installed along with Amavisd-new but I just don't understand why this has suddenly become a problem based on my setup not having changed for the last 6 months.
Should these spam emails be being discarded by spamassassin before reaching the mail queue? Are my discard score settings too high (6.9)?

I recently setup an email server on Fedora Core (14). Sendmail is running and I am trying to authenticate from a client pc using imaps. I installed Cyrus-imap and it is running and listening on 993. When I try to login, it doesn't accept authentication even though I verified the user's password is correct. (tested with ssh)Is there something I have to do with Cyrus or on the server to allow connections to email? I have not used Cyrus before. I am attempting to access my mail folders via Sendmail and did not make mailboxes in Cyrus. I did allow imaps through the firewall.

I need the IMAP IDLE features but I really prefer the POP way to manage my email. It is really important that all the email I download on my email client is automatically removed from the server but stored locally on my machine. As you have noticed this is the usually behaviour that all email client assumes with the POP server. Since I need the IMAP IDLE I can't use POP, do you know an email client that let me use an IMAP server like a POP one?
