Hi all!

Ran into a problem and hopefully i can get some help.

OK here is my set up:

- dovecot-0.99.10.4 + MySQL patch.
- Redhat 9

The authentication part works just fine.  It gives me the following entry
in the log file:

imap-login: "Apr 12 22:15:10 "Info: Login: USER at DOMAIN.com [127.0.0.1]

But there is a problem with dovecot reading the mbox file (I think).  In
the error file I get this entry:

imap(USER at DOMAIN.com): "Apr 12 22:15:10 "Fatal: Failed to create
storage with data: /export/htdocs/DOMAIN.com/mail/USER
dovecot: "Apr 12 22:15:11 "Error: child 18613 (imap) returned error 89

Of course the user and domain info was changed.

I am out of ideas but thats not to say its something easy or something I
completely looked over.


This is how I compiled dovecot:

CPPFLAGS="-I/usr/local/mysql/include/mysql -DPASSDB_MYSQL -DUSERDB_MYSQL" \
LDFLAGS="-L/usr/local/mysql/lib/mysql/ -lmysqlclient" \
\
./configure \
--prefix=/usr/local/imapd \
--disable-ipv6 \
--without-pop3d \
--without-ssl \
--with-storages=mbox \
--enable-debug


thanks in advance.

Scott
