Hi,
I searched through the maillist archives and the docs, but didn't find anything that directly addresses my question, so here goes if anyone has some time to address it.
I'm running a redhat el3 server, with Postfix as the MTA, and I'd like to setup Dovecot to provide IMAP/POP3 services.
Postfix uses MySQL lookups to do mailbox lookups, and I configured dovecot
to do the same thing. The mail is delivered to
/usr/local/virtual/<domainname>/
I've setup dovecot, and set it do user auth and user lookups to MySQL. This seems to be working fine as I get no mysql errors from the queries, and my login process (to IMAP from localhost) is fine. Here's a typical scenario:
telnet localhost imap Trying 127.0.0.1... Connected to localhost.domain (127.0.0.1 http://127.0.0.1). Escape character is '^]'.
- OK dovecot ready. 1login micah@9250x.com "rigid2" 1 OK Logged in. 2 select INBOX 2 NO
If I look in the directory for micah@9250x.com I find: # ls cur new tmp
The permissions are 777 for now to eliminate that possibility. The dovecot log file lists: imap-login: Aug 28 12:27:11 Info: Login: micah@9250x.com [127.0.0.1http://127.0.0.1 ]
each time I log in, and nothing after that indicating why it's not seeing any mail.
Why isn't it seeing any mail? Do I need to make an Inbox directory and tell postfix to deliver there? From reading the docs, having the delivery into the main maildir directory should be okay, but I might be mis-reading.
Any thoughts would be much appreciated..
Thank you, -Micah
