I've setup a client and given that client an email account from the control panel. How do I actually see the emails. I assume this has to be through webmail? So how do I access that. I have installed roundcubemail and I'm faced with a login screen, but no indication of what to login with. I saw an answer to another thread post elsewhere that says use the IMAP username and password. I'm not sure what he meant by that. Is that the email address and password of the client that I created, or something from elsewhere in the setup?
I was afraid you were going to say that. Obviously that is something I tried but I get "Login Failed" so there must be an installation fault somewhere. Getting a bit more technical then, from where does the roundcube client read that data. Does ISPConfig write to the roundcube db when a client is created? The roundcube db user table is empty.
Roundcube connects to your imap-server. Is quite similar to a connect using thunderbird or any othe email-client. You can check the mail.log.
roundcube connects to the server with the imap protocol, so its a normal imap login as if you wuld use outlook or thunderbird as mail client. No. Roundcube creates records there automatically and the roundcube database is not used to authenticate logins.
Sounds like a good place to start. Under the monitor tab, the mail log shows the following "dovecot: imap-login: Disconnected (auth failed, 1 attempts in 6 secs): user=[email protected]>" etc... So do I need to look at something in the dovecot setup that may be incorrect?
Its is either a problem in dovecot config or dovecot is not able to logn to mysql with the username and password in its config files or the password is wrong. Did you try to set the password again in ispconfig?
Yes I did. I checked the connection string in the dovecot-sql.conf file which shows the password query as login= '%u' OR email ='%u' and user query as SELECT email as user as expected. So possible a roundcube installation issue?

It's a new installation on a 500Gb drive. I only have CentOS 7 with KDE and I followed this https://www.howtoforge.com/perfect-...l-php-pureftpd-postfix-dovecot-and-ispconfig3 so 90%+ drive remaining. I didn't install mailman as it said optional.
Ok, so the space should not be the problem. According to the error messages, postfix can't write to its mail queue. Please run: postfix check and if it reports permission problems, try: postfix set-permissions Thats ok.
I kept trying, more out of stubbornness than practicality, and it suddenly accepted the login. No idea why, as I hadn't changed anything. The only thing I had done was click on all the links on the monitor page and sent another test mail. + Although I can log into roundcubemail, I can't actually send and receive mails. The inbox is empty, it appears to send although nothing actually gets sent, This is the only error I can find in the log (host 127.0.0.1[127.0.0.1] said: 451 4.3.0 id=07922-11 - Temporary MTA failure on relaying, from MTA(smtp:[127.0.0.1]:10025): 451 4.3.0 Error: queue file write error (in reply to end of DATA command))
