Title: Error: Connection dropped by IMAP server with dovecot
Check the permissions for the users folder.
<HOME DIR>/mail/.imap/INBOX
Make sure the mail server/user has write access to these files.

Check
dovecot.conf to make sure there are no block lists that stop this user connecting.

Are both users using the same domain name for their email address?

Hi there --

I am running SquirrelMail version 1.4.8-5.el5.centos.10 on a CentOS 5.6 64-bit distribution

with MailScanner 4.83.4, Sendmail 8.13.8/8.13.8, and Dovecot 1.0.7 release. All applications
listed, with the exception of MailScanner, are the packaged versions that come bundled with
the operation system.

The server is a rebuilt and updated version of an older Fedore Core 7 32-bit mail server. During the

rebuilding process all /var/spool/mail folders, as well as all user home directories, were restored
from disk backup. This included rebuilding the /etc/passwd and /etc/group files, as well as verifying
that ownership and permissions for the users' files were kept intact.

One user is having problems connecting via the SquirrelMail interface to his e-mail. Whenever he
tries to connect, he gets the following error message:

Error: Connection dropped by IMAP server with dovecot

I have tested another user account via the SquirrelMail interface, and that user is able to connect
without issue. I confirmed the presence of dovecot.index, dovecot.index.cache, and dovecot.index.log
files in the problem user's <HOME DIR>/mail/.imap/INBOX folder. 

The /var/log/maillog files do not list any apparent error messages with SquirrelMail. Does anyone have
any idea as to what other steps I need to take to correct this issue?

Thanks.
