Hi,
I'm new to the list and to dovecot. I'm having a strange situation that provides no errors, so I'm having a little problem diagnosing what's going on.
I've been running a Centos 3 mail server with sendmail for our company for quite a few years. I finally got approval for new servers this year and put Centos 6.2 on it. I'm sticking with sendmail, but that's not important.
Up to this point, I've got all working fairly well. I've found that if I configure dovecot to use the mixed format (pop and imap INBOX in /var/spool/mail, Imap folders in /home/user/mail, two namespaces) as in the examples for "namespace", most works fine. Anyone who has used imap previously on our old system and work as if nothing has changed. Anyone who has never used Imap before can't seem to access the server using our webmail app (Horde/Imp). Dovecot is providing both pop and imap. An account that is set up from a normal mail client as imap has no problems as well.
Sendmail is set up to create a new user in the /var/spool/mail folder. When I moved from the old server to the new server, I copied /home and /var/spool/mail to the new server - in other words, I kept the same scheme.
There are no errors in the maillog, and it indicates that the user is getting logged in and out, but the return to Horde is that the user entered the wrong name or password. I'm thinking that this is probably due to how dovecot is trying to look for the imap folders, but the lack or any errors makes it a little difficult to diagnose.
Looks like a Mail Directory seek problem. what's your mail_location set up to?, also, does this location exist for that NEW user on it's first login?
