Re: [Dovecot] Loggin error with Squirrelmail on Fedore Core 2

This is because by default Dovecot detects mailbox locations, and if some user doesn't have /var/mail/user mbox file, Dovecot doesn't know what to do. So alternative to the above kludge is to modify configuration file: default_mail_env = mbox:~/mail:INBOX=/var/mail/%u

Thanks Timo. It turned out that my batch-file created users were not working correctly on the system at all, so it was not a Dovecot issue. I recreated our users by hand (fortunately they're not too many) and it seems to be OK now with SquirrelMail.

I am currently experiencing another issue, but I'll start a separate thread on that.
