Using Squirrelmail with ISPConfig 3 and Courier IMAP

[dpicella]

I think I am working out the final kinks in using squirrelmail with a new ISPConfig 3 installation. I followed all the instructions for a Fedora 10 install at:

http://www.howtoforge.com/perfect-server-fedora-10-ispconfig-3

At first, I had a problem with courier-imap, but all services are running now and

.../squirrelmail/src/configtest.php

Passes all tests.

For some reason, I can log in to new email accounts and send mail. However, mail messages are not being received.

Not sure where to start troubleshooting. I suppose I can go to the logs in
/var/log such as # cat maillog | grep email@address.com

... Now what? Thanks for any help!!

I am starting to think that the problem is with maildrop. I am not sure how maildrop is configured or if it is set up to use mysql for authentication.

authtest my@email.com produces:
Authentication succeeded.

Authenticated: my@email.com (uid 5000, gid 5000)

Change
maildrop unix - n n - - pipe
flags=R user=vmail argv=/usr/bin/maildrop -d ${recipient} ${extension} ${recipient} ${user} ${nexthop} ${sender}
to
maildrop unix - n n - - pipe
flags=R user=vmail argv=/usr/bin/maildrop -d vmail ${extension} ${recipient} ${user} ${nexthop} ${sender}and restart Postfix.
