It's definitely dovecot and the path to the mail_location.

If I change it to:

Code:

mail_location = maildir:~/Maildir

the normal user accounts work fine but the admin accounts don't work.

Error with admin is "No such file or directory" when trying to create the cur under Maildir. The admin accounts have a Maildir directory under home but when I ssh in as an admin user I can't cd into it. I'll continue to work on trying to fathom that bit out but if anyone has any ideas let me know!

Email accounts work if you untick the Administrator option under User & Email - so really not sure what is going on. Odd that when you make a user an administrator it goes wrong. I can cope with it like this for now but not for ever.

This is actually causing me a really big problem now. I can't run sites as they run as the admin user not apache and if admin is on for a user I can't access email.

Can anyone help with this as it seems to me to be something ISPconfig does when the administrator box is ticked.

Could it be a symlink permissions thing? This is where it seems to stumble. As a user it is already in the user home directory so goes straight to the proper Maildir. When an admin user it logs into the site root so the Maildir is a symlink - it is this bit it falls down on. As far as I can see permissions are ok though.

Thats all fine. The admin user has always these symlinks. Please run the command "ls -la" in the website root directory and post the output.

Hi Till,

I managed to get it working (at least temporarily) by deleting the symlink and then re creating it. Why that has worked I can't tell you, but the two user's I tested it on had previously been deleted off the system and recreated and still didn't work.

Current output of ls-al is:

Code:

lrwxrwxrwx  1 root                 root       33 2008-06-30 23:02 Maildir -> user/name.domain.com/Maildir

So I checked another domain where I haven't recreated the symlink and here's the problem. The ISPconfig generated symlink is

Code:

lrwxrwxrwx  1 root                   root   46 2008-06-30 16:23 Maildir -> /home/web7/user/user.domain.com/Maildir

Obviously the admin user has issues accessing the domain like that so can I edit any of the ISPconfig files to change how it creates a symlink? Or is there something else that I can do?

Thanks,

AJ

BUMP... anyone?

Sorry for the bumb but the symlink gets overwritten with a non working one everytime I make a change in ISPconfig. Can someone confirm either that it's or bug or which file to edit within ISPconfig to change the way it writes it? Please!
