Hello all I am attempting to install ISPconfig as per this. I don't like Courier so I am installing dovecot instead. All I have done is replace the Courier install with "apt-get install dovecot*" which installs dovecot-common dovecot-dev dovecot-imapd dovecot-pop3d, yes I am aware dovecot-dev is not required. For obvious reasons (dovecot doesn't come with it) I didn't do the SSL certificate thing. After ISPconfig has finished installing I install the squirrelmail.pkg and attempt to login. It fails all the time. Yes I sent a welcome message to the email account first. This is all being done on a second machine in an effort to resolve a problem I have with setting up a global webmail client. If someone would be so kind as to point me in the right direction I would be most greatful. Regards Fred
OK, have had to reinstall it all again, tried copying messages from existing server to new server using imapsync. Here is what is in the mail.log Code: Oct 8 17:04:41 web2 dovecot: imap-login: Disconnected: user=<********@********.com>, method=PLAIN, rip=192.168.0.25, lip=192.168.0.25, secured Note: I had to use PLAIN as the auth type for the server with dovecot as no other auth types are supported. Here is the command I am using and the results: Code: web2:~# imapsync --host1 192.168.0.31 --user1 *****@*****.com --password1 ***** --host2 192.168.0.25 --user2 *****@*****.com --password2 ***** --authmech1 LOGIN --authmech2 PLAIN $RCSfile: imapsync,v $ $Revision: 1.252 $ $Date: 2008/05/08 02:30:17 $ Here is a [linux] system (Linux web2.corpcomp.co.nz 2.6.26-2-686 #1 SMP Wed Aug 19 06:06:52 UTC 2009 i686) with perl 5.10.0 and the module Mail::IMAPClient version used here is 2.2.9 Command line used : /usr/bin/imapsync --host1 192.168.0.31 --user1 *****@*****.com --password1 ***** --host2 192.168.0.25 --user2 *****@*****.com --password2 ***** --authmech1 LOGIN --authmech2 PLAIN Turned ON syncinternaldates, will set the internal dates on host2 same as host1.

I have no idea as to why or what to look for. Regards Fred
about which version of ISPConfig are you talking? 2 or 3? if it's 2 you should use username like web1XXXX not [email protected]. If it's for version 3 this is the wrong forum, and as I did not test this version myself I can not help you much, but if I'm not mistaken, ISPConfig 3 is yet only compatible with courier. (Till or Falko correct me if I'm wrong)
