Hi,<BR>
I'm getting 'no inbox for user' error.<BR>
Set up sendmail, and can send and receive mail using Webmin/Usermin both to internal addresses and external ones.<BR>
But Dovecot gives the no inbox error.<BR>
I've tried telnetting in and get:<BR>
<BR>
+OK dovecot ready.<BR>
USER myob<BR>
-ERR Unknown command<BR>
USER myob<BR>
+UK<BR>
PASS <password><BR>
+OK Logged in.<BR>
-ERR No INBOX for user.<BR>
<BR>
No idea why the first USER command gives an error.<BR>
<BR>
And, of course, when I try using Evolution I get 'Cannot get POP summary'.<BR>
<BR>
The Dovecot config file, less all the commented out bits is:<BR>
<BR>
imap_listen = [::]<BR>
pop3_listen = [::]<BR>
imaps_listen = [::]<BR>
pop3s_listen = [::]<BR>
ssl_cert_file = /etc/pki/dovecot/dovecot.pem<BR>
ssl_key_file = /etc/pki/dovecot/private/dovecot.pem<BR>
login_dir = /var/run/dovecot-login<BR>
login_chroot = yes<BR>
login = imap<BR>
login_user = dovecot<BR>
login = pop3<BR>
default_mail_env = <BR>
mbox_locks = fcntl<BR>
auth = default<BR>
auth_mechanisms = plain<BR>
auth_userdb = passwd<BR>
auth_passdb = pam<BR>
auth_user = root<BR>
<BR>
Any and all ideas very welcome.<BR>
I'm a total newbie at this server business...<BR>
Thanks in advance.<BR>
Ron<BR>
