Did you send a mail to that account first before you tried to fetch mails? Maildir is created automatically when the first mail arrives.

I sent the email from another server i have access to.

Did you enable Maildir under Management > Server > Settings > Email?

[Griff]

YAY i finally got the mail sorted thanks to Falko BUT now i've got another problem... I can send mail using the internal webmail client but when i use a client such as Outlook or Thunderbird i get the following error

Your server has unexpectedly terminated the connection. Possible causes for this include server problems, network problems, or a long period of inactivity. Account: 'geminisounds.com', Server: 'amrhosting.info', Protocol: SMTP, Port: 25, Secure(SSL): No, Error Number: 0x800CCC0F

I have enabled my Server Requires authentication and tried all of the options that come with that but still to no avail. Postconf -n is as follows

What's in /etc/default/saslauthd?

[Griff]

i'm baffled by this one.. all looks ok to me

/etc/default/saslauthd

#
# Settings for saslauthd daemon
#

# Should saslauthd run automatically on startup? (default: no)
START=yes

PARAMS="-m /var/spool/postfix/var/run/saslauthd -r"

# Which authentication mechanisms should saslauthd use? (default: pam)
#
# Available options in this Debian package:
# getpwent -- use the getpwent() library function
# kerberos5 -- use Kerberos 5
# pam -- use PAM
# rimap -- use a remote IMAP server
# shadow -- use the local shadow password file
# sasldb -- use the local sasldb database file
# ldap -- use LDAP (configuration is in /etc/saslauthd.conf)
#
# Only one option may be used at a time. See the saslauthd man page
# for more information.
#
# Example: MECHANISMS="pam"
MECHANISMS="pam"

# Additional options for this mechanism. (default: none)
# See the saslauthd man page for information about mech-specific options.
MECH_OPTIONS=""

# How many saslauthd processes should we run? (default: 5)
# A value of 0 will fork a new process for each connection.
THREADS=5

# Other options (default: -c)
# See the saslauthd man page for information about these options.
#
# Example for postfix users: "-c -m /var/spool/postfix/var/run/saslauthd"
# Note: See /usr/share/doc/sasl2-bin/README.Debian
OPTIONS="-c"

[till]

I guess you used the perfect setup for the wrong linux version to install your server.

Please remove the line:

PARAMS="-m /var/spool/postfix/var/run/saslauthd -r"

and replace:

OPTIONS="-c"

with:

OPTIONS="-m /var/spool/postfix/var/run/saslauthd -r"

and restart saslauthd.
