"Unable to open this mailbox"

[olafskaug]

I've gone over the config files over and over again and i can't seem til find out what is the matter. I've tried lots of things to correct what ever is wrong with the mailboxes. I tried letting postfix create the directories, but that didn't work , I tried creating them with maildirmake, but that didn't work either. I'm about to send my self away to the big server room in the sky! Would someone please help me....

[till]

Which linux distribution and howto did you use? Have you installed ISPConfig?

[olafskaug]

I'm using Debian Sarge. And I tried the The Perfect Setup - Debian Sarge (3.1) Howto. I installed ISPConfig but then removed it again since I found that is wasn't what i needed.

Anything else you might need to help me?

[falko]

So you're using virtual mailboxes. Did you follow this tutorial: http://www.howtoforge.com/virtual_po..._quota_courier

Are ou unable to send or to receive emails, or both? Anything in the mail log /var/log/mail.log?

[olafskaug]

Yes I follwed that howto.

The bizzare thing is that when I whent to look for the mail, I found it not in /home/vmail/mydomain/myaccount/Maildir/new but in /home/vmail/mydomain/myaccount/new .

But now IMAP works
The main problem now seems to be that I cannot use a mail client to send mail....
