    Hello,
    I'm unable to login into roundcube and a "Login Failed" error appears. I've created different mailboxes but to no avail.
    This is the log file of roundcube:

    Any ideas what's going wrong?

    roundcube connects to localhost normally, I wonder why you don't have any connects from localhost in the log.

    Which tutorials did you use to set up this server and did you modify any settings in RoundCube?
    Do logins with other email clients work?

    Restart dovecot and check if you get any errors in the mail.log from the restart.

    Seems as if roundcube tried to use CRAM-MD5 which is not supported, roundcube should have used plain or login as auth method. Please run the command:

    grep -r imap_auth_type /etc/roundcube/

    The message "Warning: /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf line 67: Global setting mail_plugins won't change the setting inside an earlier filter at" can be ignored.

    I did that & nothing changed. So I did a reboot and now I get a connection refused.

    Seems as if apache is not stated then. Start apache2 and start dovecot:

    systemctl start apache2
    systemctl start dovecot

    This whole topic is quite unusual and to me, it seems as if there must have gone something really wrong during install, was the system clean and empty when you started, no services except ssh installed? Or your server has not enough RAM? Did you check the /var/log/syslog for errors?

    The server has enough RAM. The syslog seems fine to me. I restarted nginx and that was fixed but I still can't login to the mail. Should I PM you the access if you could check it please?
    Running that command gives me
    /etc/roundcube/defaults.inc.php:$config['imap_auth_type'] = 'auth';

    I've been breaking my head for the second day now.

    Try change that line to:

    $config['imap_auth_type'] = null;

    as that's what is used in the system which has been installed with the debian 10 perfect server nginx here.

    Done and rebooted but still doesn't work. I'm unable to login from anywhere - not just RoundCube so is it possible that I've to change something else as well?

    The actual problem was that there were no maildirs created. I checked this in the database and noticed that the mail domain had a server_is 0, which is impossible as you have to select I mail server when you create the domain. My guess is that you did this: You either created the server without enabling mail services in expert mode or you manually disabled the mail service under system > server services. Then you created the email domain without having a mail service, that's the only way to get a mail domain with an ID 0 which basically means this mail domain is not located on any server. Then you later enabled mail services again on your server, so there was a mail server again but this will not affect your existing test domain as you can not move a domain from a non-existing system to another server. A mailbox inherits the server_id from its mail domain, this means that all mailboxes had a wrong server_id as well. In addition to that, you did not had the current ISPConfig version installed and dependency of amavisd was missing, which I installed and update now.

    I created a test domain and it is working fine. You have to delete your test email domain in ispconfig and create a new one. The new one will be working then. And do not disable mail services on your server when you want to use mail services.

    Yes, but not a dns issue of your domain, it's a dns issue of the IPv6 address. Your IPv6 address has no reverse record. The PTR of the IP address and IPv6 address is normally set in the user panel of the datacenter where you rented your server.
