Can't open inbox

[FutileFreedom]

Greetings!

I have discovered the source of my problem. It seems that the inbox and all that happy jazz wasn't being created. I'm still unsure how to automatically do so and I have tried using Google to help with this to no prevail.


So right from one problem to another I go. After I get this email thing sorted out it should all be good.

Thanks!

To which tutorial (URL) are you referring? Which distribution do you use?

Do you use ISPConfig?

I'm using Ubuntu Server 11.10, I can log in to Postfix and Courier without problem but I can't retrieve the inbox. I am not using ISPConfig.

That tutorial was released yesterday evening (after you started this thread).

Did you check your mail log for errors?

Oops. Might've been the 11.04 version then. I'm getting

Nov 6 06:43:39 wikiop postfix/pipe[14394]: B6C752A1E7B: to=<futilefreedom@wikiop.in>, relay=maildrop, delay=67760, delays=67760/0.02/0/0.08, dsn=4.3.0, status=deferred (temporary failure. Command output: ERR: authdaemon: s_connect() failed: Permission denied /usr/bin/maildrop: Unable to open mailbox. )

a fair amount. I found it on google and it said that its being run as the vmail user so I changed file permissions on it.

Somehow another email decided "Hey I'm working! Look!" so I loaded it and it works fine. I removed the mailbox for the above user and then sent it an E-mail and it created it and it worked. However, the Sent folder, Junk folder and Drafts folder are not there.
