    Hello, unable to login to squirell mail. Tried dovecot and courier.

    Here's my mail log.

    Code:
    Apr 21 16:53:59 host imapd: Connection, ip=[::ffff:127.0.0.1]
Apr 21 16:54:00 host authdaemond: failed to connect to mysql server (server=mysql.example.com, userid=admin): Unknown MySQL server host 'mysql.example.com' (1)

    I followed Perfect server 5.5 with dovecot and than switched to courier thinking it woudl solve my login issue. Any suggestions greatly appreciated.

    update

    ok took

    dovecot_destination_recipient_limit = 1
    smtpd_sasl_type = dovecot
    smtpd_sasl_path = private/auth

    these lines out of my /etc/postfix/main.cf and seem to have cleaned up the warnings.

    Code:

    ok switched back to dovecot. Still unable to login to squirell mail but don't get a connection dropped from imap server. Logs look a little better. Mail log shows.

    Code:
    Apr 21 22:09:31 host dovecot: deliver([email protected]): userdb lookup: connect(/var/run/dovecot/auth-master) failed: No such file or directory
Apr 21 22:09:31 host postfix/pipe[6106]: DC4132803F5: to=<[email protected]>, relay=dovecot, delay=3766, delays=3766/0.01/0/0.01, dsn=4.3.0, status=deferred (temporary failure)
Apr 21 22:09:39 host dovecot: imap-login: Aborted login (auth failed, 1 attempts): user=<[email protected]>, method=PLAIN, rip=127.0.0.1, lip=127.0.0.1, secured
    it looks like emails are flowing in just have no were to go. So unsure why i am not able to login to email after creation in ispconfig. Reconfigure or reinstall ispconfig?

    @static442

    How did you exactly did the upgrade of ispconfig and you reconfigured it? I also have problem with my emails, and I'm looking for a solution. I can't login from Squirrelmail nor from Evolution. I get the following error at the mail.ingo log

    tail -f /var/log/mail.info

    netstat -tap
    I would really appreciate any help...

    I also get this when I try to start dovecot

    /etc/init.d/dovecot start
    I don't know if this makes any sense.

    In my ISPConfig 3.0.3.3 I have configured
    POP3/IMAP Daemon: Courier
    Mailfilter Syntax: Maildrop

    Which distribution do you use? What's the output of
    Code:
    uname -a
    ?

    Thank you for your reply.

    uname -a gives

    Linux ns3.intercube-hosts.com 2.6.32-31-server #61-Ubuntu SMP Fri Apr 8 19:44:42 UTC 2011 x86_64 GNU/Linux

    Ok, now I see that you have Courier installed. So why do you try to start Dovecot when you have Courier?
