Re: Setting Postfix + Courier + Cyrus: cannot find user dir on authentication

Hi All,

Hi Sergi. Please, turn off html when sending e-mails, they're hard to
read from text based e-mail clients :-)

I am trying to adapt a tutorial for setting a mail server in Arch Linux
[1] to Debian. I finished the step of PostfixAdmin, and I perfectly can
send e-mails from it and add users and domains to the database. Looking
at /home/vmail, I also checked that I can receive e-mails. Before
setting up Rouncube, I wanted to try accessing with Thunderbird, but I
am getting the message of Incorrect username or password.

Looking at the logs, on mail.log I can see:
Jan 3 00:32:52 cub3 imapd: Connection, ip=[::ffff:80.35.195.218]
Jan 3 00:32:53 cub3 imapd: chdir Maildir: No such file or directory
Jan 3 00:32:53 cub3 imapd: sachiel@xxxxxxxx: No such file or directory

I have no previous experience with Courier, but the above message seems
to indicate Courier can't find the proper place where messages are being
dropped.

But:
# ls /home/vmail/
sachiel@xxxxxxxx
# ls /home/vmail/sachiel@xxxxxxxx/
cur new tmp
# ls /home/vmail/sachiel@xxxxxxxx/new/

1325471089.Vca00I4f78fM130501.cub3

(...)

Mmm... isn't a parent "/Maildir" folder required? :-?

I mean, something like: "/$HOME/vmail/$user/Maildir/cur|new|tmp"

I would also check where is the Courier variable for the stored mailboxes
pointing to.
