ISPCONFIG3 - Opensuse - ERROR: Connection dropped by IMAP server.

Hello,

First of all I want to say that I'm using Opensuse and ISPConfig 3.

For several days I've been trying to resolve a Squirrelmail problem: ""ERROR: Connection dropped by IMAP server." This error appears when I'm trying to connect to Squirrelmail.

I was googling these days for a solution but I couldn't find any.

In ISPConfig - Mail Error is written:

Feb 3 15:42:54 ins06 dovecot: dovecot: Fatal: chdir(/var/vmail/exemplu.ro/user/) failed: Permission denied (euid=5000(vmail) egid=5000(vmail) missing +x perm: /var/vmail/exemplu.ro)
Feb 3 15:42:54 ins06 dovecot: dovecot: child 32401 (imap) returned error 89 (Fatal failure)

HELP, please.

Thanks,
Alexa

Thanks Till! You rock!
It worked!

Now I have a small problem: after login, in the left panel I have this error:

ERROR:
ERROR: Could not complete request.
Query: CREATE "mail/Sent"
Reason Given: Invalid mailbox name: mail/Sent

Can you still help me?


Thanks once more,
Alexa

same problem fixed, but recurring for new mailboxes

Hi

I am getting this same issue with IMAP being dropped and permissions error on the mailbox folder. The above change works, but whenever I setup a new mailbox I have to go through the same process again, same error. How can I fix it permanently for any new setups I make?

thanks
Mark

 

Hi can you post what you change in squirrelmail. thank you.

 

I know it is a little bit late, but the chmod command does not change . files so you must tell explicit to change these file too bei chmod ..... .*
