[Dovecot] Unable to access the mailbox or folders !!
Hi, Thanx a lot for your reply. But my log file(its /var/log/dovecot) doesnt have any information other than the following line for example, imap-login: Sep 16 10:31:50 Info: Login: usr1 [127.0.0.1] After this when I give select command or anything like that, its not logged(I dont know also, how to enable maximum debug information, I checked the docs and all) Again, let me tell you that I suspect there is something wrong with the mail environment setting. its as follows
default_mail_env = maildir:/var/spool/mail/%u/Maildir
and when i give some nonexisting location ( eg; /var/blah/blah) also, I get the SAME ERROR.
Here is a sample telnet session
Trying 127.0.0.1... Connected to localhost.localdomain (127.0.0.1). Escape character is '^]'.
- OK dovecot ready. a01 login usr1 XXXXXXXXX a01 OK Logged in. a02 select inbox a02 NO
Please tell me if you would like to have any other info. Thanx again and regards, Nasirudheen

Hi all, I have installed dovecot on redhat linux with ldap backend. I can login using ldap account in to my webmail (squirrelmail) .But when I login to the webmail , I cant see any inbox or anything . Just some error messages like this ,
Check the log file. /var/log/mail.log usually. It should give more specific error message on what happened.
I tried to telnet to port 143. Its also similar case. It allows me to login but when I give "select" command , it gives error(in fact, "NO" and nothing else).
"x select inbox" too?

Hmmh. It's difficult to say anything. If it returns just "NO" it means something returns a failure without setting any error message. That really shouldn't happen..

It probably has something to do with not finding the maildir, or that the maildir doesn't work for some reason or .. hmm. Do you use one or multiple UIDs?
Try this:
MAIL=/var/spool/mail/username/Maildir /usr/local/libexec/dovecot/imap
and see if you can select inbox there?
