authmodulelist="authmysql"

Please check the courier config files if you have any whitespces behind the values. Courier is very picky with that. I had this in one setup and searched for hours until i found the whitespace... Most other programs are ignoring whitespaces behind values in config files.

Example:

This will work:

MYSQL_USERNAME mail_admin

This wont work:

MYSQL_USERNAME mail_admin[WHITESPACE]

Yes:

/etc/init.d/courier-authdaemon restart

Is the uid/gid of user/group vmail really 5000?

I had whitespaces after mail_admin and password.

...but nothing has changed, do I have to restart any program?

Yes. Go to /etc/init.d/ and restart everything with courier in the name.

Thank you, that was one problem!

But now I get:

"Unable to open the maildir for this account -- the maildir doesn't exist or has incorrect ownership or permissions."

I will search for this problem in the forum....

When does it happen? When you send an email to that account, or when you try to fetch emails with POP3/IMAP? In the latter case you first have to send an email to the account in question - the Maildir will then be created.

It happens when I want to fetch emails with sqwebmail.

I wrote allready an email to this account.

Should there be a folder in /home/vmail ? Because there is no folder.

Is there a log where I can see if the mail has arrived at my mailserver because I get no "undeliverable" message from my provider.

Yes, /var/log/mail.log.

You have m34s12.vlinux.de in both mydestination and in the domains table in the database. Remove it from one of them and restart Postfix!

I removed it and restarted postfix...
