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>/<end.address>/ in maildir
format by Postfix. This is working fine.
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).
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 [127.0.0.1]
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
