I was looking at my dovecot.deliver log and it's showing that it's delivering it to the Inbox:

deliver(samantha.freeze@mybridemail.com): 01/20/2011 10:44:27 Info: auth input: home=/home/vmail/mybridemail.com/samantha.freeze

However, if I login as her through Telnet, it shows that she has no mail:

• FLAGS (\Answered \Flagged \Deleted \Seen \Draft)

• OK [PERMANENTFLAGS (\Answered \Flagged \Deleted \Seen \Draft \*)] Flags permitted.

• 0 EXISTS

• 0 RECENT

• OK [UIDVALIDITY 1295474980] UIDs valid

• OK [UIDNEXT 1] Predicted next UID

b OK [READ-WRITE] Select completed.

If I look in the new folder under her folder, it shows the last emails I sent this morning:

-rw------- 1 vmail vmail 3564 Jan 20 10:21 1295536875.M679042P20187.mybridemail.com,W=3672

It's really strange why dovecot can deliver the mail to the inbox but cannot see the inbox when trying to retrieve the mail????

I inherited a server from a previous employee. The server crashed so it was time to move everything over to another server. We have a web mail site and I installed everything running dovecot, postfix and roundcube. After I installed it, everything worked great when I created a new user. The new user could send and receive emails with no issues. I then copied the home directory over from the other server and ran the courier-dovecot migration script. It created the subscription files and the dovecot-uidlist files in each user (about 1000 total users). When I login as one of the existing users, it says that there is no mail in the mailbox. However, if I look at the user's cur and new folders, there is mail in those folders. If I send a new mail to the user, it does not show up in their inbox. If I look in their new folder, the new mail that I sent was delivered to that folder but it does not show up in their inbox. I've tried going to dovecot directly through telnet with the same results. I've been stuck for 2 days now so any help is greatly appreciated. Below is my dovecot.conf with all the comments removed.

Thanks all!
