ERROR: Connection dropped by IMAP server.

[danielac]

I followed the tutorial http://www.howtoforge.com/virtual-us...l-ubuntu-10.04

and everything went fine, except....

I have a problem with adding users and domains. I added sales@domain.tld. ( form the tutorial ) and it works just fine, but if I add another domain or another email address, I cannot login.

I restarted the postfix and the mysql and the courier-imap... but still the same problem.

I am getting this error:

ERROR:

ERROR: Connection dropped by IMAP server.



Can somebody help me?

[till]

Please post the detailed error messages from mail.log file.

It was a permission problem at the vmail directory.

Hey! Thanks for posting this. You're going through exactly the same problem I encountered.

What was the permissions problem you discovered? I'd like to know.

The guide I'm using is based on the one you followed. The difference is that it is for 11.10. http://www.howtoforge.com/virtual-us...buntu-11.10-p1
