    further to this, i think i have worked out what the problem is, but not sure how to fix it, i went into the webadmin of ispconfig and changed the user that was having a prooblems to a normal user and made a secondary user in the same domain as that administrator, i was then able to check all my folders, webmail was working fine, and yep u guessed it, the second mail account was not working, how do i prevent this, i assume that the mail is looking in the website's main '.mail' folder......

    Are there any errors in your mail log?

    yeh pretty much what the email clients say.. permission denied :confused:

    Code:
    Dec  2 07:03:12 water dovecot: imap-login: Login: user=<1_user>, method=PLAIN, rip=::ffff:192.168.0.1, lip=::ffff:192.168.0.100
    Dec  2 07:03:12 water dovecot: IMAP(1_user): mkdir_parents(/var/www/web1/mail/.imap/INBOX) failed: Permission denied
    
    it looks like as i thought.. that it is attempting to read web1's mailbox, not web1/user's mailbox... why is that when i change the administrator this happens, if i change user to a normal user it works fine.... thanks
