Hello, First I want to thank you for your site that I consult very often and that is really of great help. I installed a server in following The Perfect Setup - Ubuntu Feisty Fawn (Ubuntu 7.04) + ISPconfig + Roundcube. But I currently have a problem, I can't login with either POP3 or IMAP4, server responds but then rejects my password /etc/postfix/main.cf # See /usr/share/postfix/main.cf.dist for a commented, more complete version # Debian specific: Specifying a file name will cause the first # line of that file to be used as the name.

I suspect something wrong with the authentication modules but I have no clue what I can try Thanks for any suggestions Gil
I tried to find a solution all the day without success, I reinstalled all the part with imap and pop in following the tuto but still get the same result. The worst of this story is that it was working a few days ago. Has someone a clue about what could cause (POP and IMAP failed to login), because I am able to login with the username password with shell access. Could this file be responsible of that /etc/default/saslauthd ? Thanks for future answers Gil
No, that has nothing to do with Courier. Usually Courier is working out of the box. Did you modify any of the Courier configuration files?
Thanks Falko for the answer, at long last I succeeded to make it works. I remove all courier stuff apt-get remove courier-authdaemon courier-base courier-imap courier-imap-ssl courier-pop courier-pop-ssl courier-ssl gamin libgamin0 libglib2.0-0 I check if some entries were still existing updatedb locate courier-imap and deleted all the entries manually, and reinstall with apt-get install courier-authdaemon courier-base courier-imap courier-imap-ssl courier-pop courier-pop-ssl courier-ssl gamin libgamin0 libglib2.0-0 but some files were missing in /etc/init.d/ and /etc/courier so I took them from another server and after that it was still necessary to reboot the server. I don't know what was wrong but everything is working again. Gil
