I think my fault was a "yum install upgrade" one week ago...
I know ISP config 3 isn't compatible with dovecot 2..
Is this the problem?
How can I solve the problem?
Thanks in advantage

ISPConfig 3.0.3.3, I used The perfect Server Fedora 14 ISPConfig 3 tutorial

Yes. Please try to downgrade to Dovecot 1.2.

Hi Falko,
I downgraded dovecot to 1.2 but I cannot use the mail server yet.
This is the actual log from ispconfig:

To downgrade, I used the step #11 of your howto http://www.howtoforge.com/perfect-se...ispconfig-3-p4

What do you think? Could you help me please?
Thanks in advantage

[marcozeus]

Hi,
any idea for this problem?
thank you very much

[till]

Make sure that you rerun the ispconfig update and choose to reconfigure services after you downgraded dovecot.

[dennysp]

Sorry for bringing this back from the dead, but I'm having the same problem. How do I force ispconfig_update to reconfigure services? Since I'm on the latest version, it says it's already updated.

[till]

Download the ispconfig tar.gz from ispconfig.org website, unpack it and then run the update.php script which is in the install folder.

[dennysp]

I did this, and now I can log in, but only after I reset the password on the mailboxes. Also, all the mailboxes I've tried so far are empty. Any idea why?

EDIT: I noticed on the mailbox folders I log in, there is a new Maildir folder with cur, new and tmp which are empty. The ones I haven't logged in (or change the password) do not have the Maildir folder, just cur, new and tmp. How do I change this so that the emails don't go into this new Maildir folder and the users can see their old emails?

[falko]

Are there any errors in your mail log (in the /var/log/ directory)?
