Hi,
Thanks for the fast reply!
Looks like Debian Dovecot itself is actually OK. To determine this firstly I created a new user and find I can connect to the new user's inbox using squrrelmail OK, but some old users dont work....
I next connected to another user's account and that works fine...
so I assume its a "format" issue of the mail structure for that one user...The Q is how to re-instate/repair the existing mail box for the old user(s)....is there a script I an run to repair? or update the format?
As below, test is the new user and is OK, phoebe is an old user and is OK, user thing is broken....
regards
Steven
