Password was rejested/Maildir: No Such file or directory I apologize now for the long post but I wanted to give as much information as possible. I followed the tutorial, and Outlook Express is giving me an error that I cannot login. There was a problem logging onto your mail server. Your Password was rejected.

Have you send an email to this account? Postfix will create the maildir when the first email arrives. I assuje the path to the maildir is in the database, is it correct and corresponds with the settings in the courier setup?
I have sent an email to the account, I have done so using telnet manually and also with outlook. The Path to the maildir isn't in the database. It appears that it is set by the CONCAT commands in the *.cf files.
contents of the mysql-virtual_mailboxes.cf: user = mail_admin password = ******* (this is correct) dbname = mail table = users select_field = CONCAT(SUBSTRING_INDEX(email,'@',-1),'/',SUBSTRING_INDEX(email,'@',1),'/') where_field = email hosts = 127.0.0.1
Well I fixed it, the suggestion made me try again. I had forgotten earlier in the process I had an error about myhostname and mydestination containing same information. I had removed the "mail.mcknight.homelinux.net" after I had sent the email. The problem was it went to /home/wayne/Maildir/new. After removing the "mail.mcknight.homelinux.net" from mydestination the mail successfully went to "/home/vmail/mail.mcknight.homelinux.net/wayne/new" I also had a local user account called wayne, I am assuming that's why when the host name was in mydestination, it assumed the ACTUAL system user wayne was supposed to get the mail. myhostname = mail.mcknight.homelinux.net alias_maps = hash:/etc/aliases alias_database = hash:/etc/aliases myorigin = /etc/mailname mydestination = mail.mcknight.homelinux.net, localhost, localhost.localdomain
