This is a Virtualmin setup where the user's local mail folders are located at: /home/domain/homes/user/mail The user can login to Dovecot but it doesn't fetch their emails.There are no errors in the logs.Is my mail location wrong?

I am running Fedora 10, Postfix and Dovecot I recently changed the password of a user using the 'passwd' command. The problem is that the user can no longer receive their email messages in Thunderbird (Authentication Error). However, they can still login using SquirrelMail and get their mail.

I have problem while setting up user account on Thunderbird, Thunderbird seems like cannot detect my CentOS mail server. How ?
Do i have to do any other configuration on CentOS ? any DNS ? port number for IMAP,POP3 or SMTP ?
I'm running Dovecot version dovecot-1.0.7 on CentOS 5.4. I'm trying to create subfolders and I can't. I've tried Mac's mail application and Thunderbird; they both come up with an error, basically saying that the server doesn't support level one folders(subfolders). Squirrelmail can't create subfolders neither. I did some reading and thought that perhaps the problem lies in the /etc/dovecot.conf file; specifically with the "mail_location" directive. I currently don't have that directive active which means Dovecot uses defaults settings: saving users' mail in the %u/mail folder. Is there any way to configure Dovecot to use subfolders?
View 14 Replies View RelatedI'm somewhat familiar with Linux and became pretty decent at installing and configuring packages in Ubuntu. One of the things I was able to do with my tinkering was set up a functioning imap and pop3 mail server using dovecot-postfix. Now I'm experimenting with Slackware to get the feel of another distro, and I noticed that the mail server packages were already installed. On my client computer they can pick up that I have users configured and my mx record is working.
However it is failing to send mail saying that it is failing to relay the e-mail message and that the server responded 5.7.1 which was a problem that I was having in Ubuntu when first configuring the mail server. The fix was to edit the postfix.conf file and adding the localhost name of my server. Does anybody know of the file that I need to edit to make it possible to relay my messages with both pop3 and imap.
the mail server itself will receive mail, that part works. i'm using dovecot imap to grab my mail, that works. but if i try to send mail from my iphone using an account on that server it doesnt work. this is what i see in syslog: May 15 07:14:52 coax postfix/smtpd[1432]: NOQUEUE: reject: RCPT from mobile-166-137-139-003.mycingular.net[166.137.139.3]: 450 4.1.8 <eppo@customconnexions.com>: Sender address rejected: Domain not found; from=<eppo@customconnexions.com> to=<xxxxxxx@aol.com> proto=ESMTP helo=<[10.25.15.47]>

View 1 Replies View RelatedWithin the last few days, Evolution barely opens, and every message has a duplicate message. The duplicate shows as unread, whether I read the original message or not. All duplicates occur only for messages received prior to Wednesday late PM (about four days ago). My in-box was already large, and the program now takes forever to open. In its attempt to get all the messages, it shows:
Fetching mail (...)
Generating message list (...)
Storing folder (...)
I've watched the system monitor, and I'm open to suggestions if looking for something specific could help. When I first attempt to open the program, it grabs a substantial portion of the CPU as status "running" or "uninterruptible." If I let it grind away for a while (15 or more minutes), the program opens, and has the double entries and continues to labor to get the new e-mail. In the most recent try, the program opens, and eventually is able to get mail.
This recent problem MIGHT be related to traveling, when I switched to working off-line for a while, and was usually hibernating the machine in between uses, rather than shutting down. Also, I resorted to checking mail via a web mail program at one point.
Could I have hit the wrong option about synchronizing folders? Default is "do not synchronize." When off-line, I only want to read and answer messages from the inbox, and have them sent from the outbox when I again have access. What is the proper way to do this? I don't have any messages in folders except a few draft e-mails.
I'm running Evolution 2.26 on Jaunty. What did I do wrong, and how do I fix it! PS: Is there a more specific forum for Evolution?
Everything seems to be set up right, I can send mail and everything, but... When it comes to retrieving my mail, it fetched everything from up to about a week and a half ago, and then stopped while displaying "error fetching messages." I don't understand this... Obviously, this means that I won't be able to receive any new messages, which is pretty critical for a mail client. So what's the beef? The last email it will show me is an email from April 22nd. I use Yahoo and have an @sbcglobal address. pop.att.yahoo.com is input for receiving, and smtp.att.yahoo.com is input for sending. I can't seem to find anything that has been input wrong, so... IDK, I'm at a loss for an explanation for this.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI'm using evolution for a few POP-email-accounts, and most things work fine (sending and receiving email, sorting into folders etc).
However, evolution permanently displays a row reading "fetching mail" at the bottom of the window, most times the row is splitted into two or three "fetching mail" - probably representing activity for seperate email accounts though it never tells which one is which.
Strange enough this "fetching" hardly ever stops, evolution remains "fetching" for hours(!) at "0% complete", even when all new mails (usually just a hand full per day) already have been downloaded and displayed.
For several reasons I leave all my mail on the server as well, this means there are lots of mail on the server which I downloaded, read and deleted (locally!) in evolution.
I GUESS that evolution keeps checking and downloading old mails left on the server just to dispose them instantly again when the program discovers that these mails already have been read and deleted locally. Is that possible? Any other explanation?
The problem is that I'm paying for internet by "megabyte" (no flat-rate), and apparently evolution DOES download lots of data that I never get to see, i.e. without any use but at a cost.....
Is there any option in evolution to make it just check and download the latest, never before downloaded mails, and then stop "fetching"?
Is there any option in evolution to check on account at a time? (clicking "send/receive" button makes evolution check all accounts as far as I understand).
Is there a possibility to just send mails in the outbox, without, at the same time, checking mail (I only have the combined "send/receive" button.
I've got the problem that Dovecot won't show me my mail!
I've set up my mail_location to maildir:~/Maildir/, and set up a namespace
Code:
namespace private {
separator = .
prefix = INBOX.
inbox = no

I am able to copy mails from another account to the account on my server. But I've got no clue of where dovecot stores them. Not in /var/mail I've checked..
This happened after I re-installed with a 9.10 Ubuntu Server disc.
I am evaluating Horde Groupware Webmail Edition. I have completed the installation as follows:
RHEL 5 workstation 2.6.18-238.1.1.el5
sendmail 8.13.8
procmail v3.22
dovecot 2.0.9
php 5.1.6

How can the /etc/procmailrc be used to deliver mail to the user's Maildir with the correct permissions so that the user can read their mail without a .procmailrc file of their own?
Last time I rebooted, sendmail & dovecot started from init and everything worked. I needed to reboot this weekend [new videocard] & yum had given me a new kernel etc.Now.2.6.34.7-56.fc13.i686 running Thunderbird - with 2 accounts chuck@otherserver.com and chuck@localhost.
The "otherserver" account works fine. Localhost won't pull in the mail.

I am trying to set up a mail server on centos5 using sendmail and dovecot, and eventually spamassassin and some antivirus filter as well. I'd also like to get the proper secure auth mechanism set up at some point too. But for starters, I've been having a lot of difficulty trying to even connect to the mail server from a client computer in the local network. I installed Eudora on the client and after some tweaking in dovecot I was able to connect to the mail server, but then when I try to send an email I get a "connection refused" error, with nothing being logged on the server that I can see.
The last time I set up a mail server was Fedora Core 2, so the configuration files have changed a bit to say the least, and I can't really refer back to those to set up this new server. Does anybody know of a good step-by-step doc on getting the mail server going? I've read the man pages and other various readme's, but these really only list out the available options with no really good explanation of what needs to be done to get the mail server going. If there isn't a full write-up on how to do this, I'll put something together when I'm finished so others can use it in the future.
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.
