When creating a new mailbox in ISPConfig, it creates the directories to an extent. /var/vmail/website.co.uk/test1/Maildir is created and it creates some folders inside this: courierimapkeywords courierimapsubscribed courierimapuiddb cur new subscriptions tmp it does not create any inbox or anything like that. I get "ERROR: Could not complete request. Query: SELECT "INBOX" Reason Given: Unable to open this mailbox." from Squirrelmail when sending emails to an account on my server I get "status=deferred (mail transport unavailable)" and "warning: connect to transport private/courier-imap: No such file or directory" when connecting via telnet :143 I get a EXAMINE INBOX a NO Unable to open this mailbox. and if I connect over :110 I get -ERR Maildir invalid (no 'cur' directory) Essentially I don't think the Maildir is being created correctly but I can't for the life of me figure out why and spent far too long on it, going through forums which have got me so far but there's not anything I can find that has the same problem(s) as me, or the same cause. Thanks
Ok solved most of it, my idiocy and not changing a setting in ISPconfig, Server Config, Mail, POP3/IMAP Daemon was set to Dovecot and I'm using courier. So most of those issues are now all gone. The only one that still remains is receiving emails, I get "status=deferred (mail transport unavailable)" still. I think there is a problem in my postfix main.cf file but I don't want to make it worse!

Which tutorial did you follow to install your server? Did you change imap daemon from dovecot to courier after you installed ispconfig?
Yeah, I messed up somewhere, nothing was working so I gave it a shot, I used the perfect server for Ubuntu 13.04. Everything is working, folders working, sending mail is working, tailing the mail.log and sending an email from hotmail I get this (emails etc changed) Feb 6 11:15:37 vps2 postfix/smtpd[29451]: connect from dub0-omc3-s21.dub0.hotmail.com[157.55.2.30] Feb 6 11:15:37 vps2 postfix/smtpd[29451]: A74EB161713: client=dub0-omc3-s21.dub0.hotmail.com[157.55.2.30] Feb 6 11:15:37 vps2 postfix/cleanup[29453]: A74EB161713: message-id=<[email protected]> Feb 6 11:15:37 vps2 postfix/qmgr[28295]: A74EB161713: from=<[email protected]>, size=1456, nrcpt=1 (queue active) Feb 6 11:15:37 vps2 postfix/smtpd[29451]: disconnect from dub0-omc3-s21.dub0.hotmail.com[157.55.2.30] Feb 6 11:15:39 vps2 postfix/smtpd[29616]: connect from localhost[127.0.0.1] Feb 6 11:15:39 vps2 postfix/smtpd[29616]: 5F734161716: client=localhost[127.0.0.1] Feb 6 11:15:39 vps2 postfix/cleanup[29453]: 5F734161716: message-id=<[email protected]> Feb 6 11:15:39 vps2 postfix/qmgr[28295]: 5F734161716: from=<[email protected]>, size=1901, nrcpt=1 (queue active) Feb 6 11:15:39 vps2 postfix/qmgr[28295]: warning: connect to transport private/courier-imap: No such file or directory Feb 6 11:15:39 vps2 postfix/smtpd[29616]: disconnect from localhost[127.0.0.1] Feb 6 11:15:39 vps2 postfix/error[29465]: 5F734161716: to=<[email protected]>, relay=none, delay=0.02, delays=0.01/0.01/0/0.01, dsn=4.3.0, status=deferred (mail transport unavailable) Feb 6 11:15:39 vps2 amavis[28742]: (28742-02) Passed CLEAN {RelayedInbound}, [157.55.2.30]:48764 [157.55.2.8] <[email protected]> -> <[email protected]>, Queue-ID: A74EB161713, Message-ID: <[email protected]>, mail_id: wuQQ38VGEGNW, Hits: 0.101, size: 1457, queued_as: 5F734161716, 1684 ms Feb 6 11:15:39 vps2 postfix/smtp[29454]: A74EB161713: to=<[email protected]>, relay=127.0.0.1[127.0.0.1]:10024, delay=1.8, delays=0.07/0/0/1.7, dsn=2.0.0, status=sent (250 2.0.0 from MTA(smtp:[127.0.0.1]:10025): 250 2.0.0 Ok: queued as 5F734161716) Feb 6 11:15:39 vps2 postfix/qmgr[28295]: A74EB161713: removed any ideas?
Fixed it I think. Changed a few things in main.cf and then was getting "virtual_mailbox_limit is smaller than message_size_limit", realised there was no line for virtual_mailbox_limit, put it in, set it higher than message_size_limit and I get hundreds of test emails coming through!
