Hi everyone, here is the error I'm getting. ERROR: Could not complete request. Query: SELECT "INBOX" Reason Given: Internal error occurred. Refer to server log for more information. [2006-12-21 06:42:30] I'm using dovecot-imap. PHP 5.1.6 Server version: Apache/2.2.3 fedora core 6 dovecot installed via rpm, squirrel mail installed via binaries This is what i get from the maillog logs: Dec 21 06:52:30 manhattan dovecot: IMAP(flintstone): Disconnected: Logged out Dec 21 07:02:31 manhattan dovecot: imap-login: Login: user=<flintstone>, method=PLAIN, rip=127.0.0.1, lip=127.0.0.1, secured Dec 21 07:02:31 manhattan dovecot: IMAP(flintstone): open(var/mail/flintstone, O_CREAT) failed: No such file or directory Dec 21 07:02:31 manhattan dovecot: IMAP(flintstone): access() failed with mbox file var/mail/flintstone: No such file or directory Dec 21 07:02:31 manhattan dovecot: IMAP(flintstone): stat() failed with mbox file var/mail/flintstone: No such file or directory Dec 21 07:02:31 manhattan dovecot: IMAP(flintstone): Disconnected: Logged out There is a directory and path for mail to /var/mail/flintstone permissions for this directory are rw-rw---- Here is one of the things i think have to do with my problems: ## ## Mailbox locations and namespaces ## # Location for users' mailboxes. This is the same as the old default_mail_env # setting. The default is empty, which means that Dovecot tries to find the # mailboxes automatically. This won't work if the user doesn't have any mail # yet, so you should explicitly tell Dovecot the full location. # # If you're using mbox, giving a path to the INBOX file (eg. /var/mail/%u) # isn't enough. You'll also need to tell Dovecot where the other mailboxes are # and where Dovecot can place its index files. This is called the "root mail # directory", and it must be the first path given in the mail_location setting. # # There are a few special variables you can use, eg.: # # %u - username # %n - user part in user@domain, same as %u if there's no domain # %d - domain part in user@domain, empty if there's no domain # %h - home directory # # See doc/variables.txt for full list. Some examples: # # mail_location = maildir:~/Maildir # mail_location = mbox:~/mail:INBOX=/var/mail/%u # mail_location = mbox:/var/mail/%1n/%n:INDEX=/var/indexes/%1n/%n # # http://wiki.dovecot.org/MailLocation # mail_location = mbox:%h/mail:INBOX=var/mail/%u I don't know what else to do. I think it is this setting messing things up. but I'm not sure. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys. Earn Cash.
