[Dovecot] Can't send mail through new server
I thought I had just about got the old server to the point of being switched off. I have been reading from the dovecot server for a couple of days, and this evening I switched the 'sending' to the new server as well - but I couldn't get anything out. I got:
Error while uploading message
Could not upload the message dated Wed Feb 1 21:2:56 2006 from Anne Wilson cannewilson@tiscali.co.uk with subject "xxx" on the server.
The destination folder was sent-mail, which has the URL .
The error message from the server communication is here:
APPEND failed: Can't open append mailbox : Read-only file system
I also got messages like:
Error while retrieving messages from the server.
Unable to open folder sent-mail. The server replied: SELECT failed:
Mailbox open failed, aborted: Read-only file system.
I like to save the sent-mail and trash on the server. ~/Maildir has all the folders including sent-mail and trash. I have the same UID on both boxes. What has gone wrong?

at first glance I would say that you have a read-only file system ... :-)
you are migrating from one server to the other ... can it then be that you have somehow mounted your old stuff only readonly?
what does a plain
% mount
give for your new box?

Thanks for the reply, Udo. First, let me apologise for the multi-sends
- I thought they had all failed.
It's amazing what a sleep can do for the faculties. I was attempting to send to the new server, but it was trying to save to sent-mail on the old server. All fixed, now.
Sorry for the panic and wasted bandwidth.
