I am a newbie user and I setup the latest version of ISPConfig. I used the Debian Sarge Howto to setup my box. I am using Postfix -> Courier POP+IMAP -> Procmail -> Maildir I am able to send and receive email but the only problem is I can't retrieve it via Thunderbird (POP3 or IMAP over TLS). Everything is authenticated and Thunderbird communicates with the mail server (my box). I am not sure what I am doing wrong.. Here are some relevant snippets.. A.

Rephrased question Hey Falko: Thanks for the response. Let me rephrase my question. Will mailboxes created via ISPConfig work only with a webmail client? Can I not use POP3 or IMAP to access those mailboxes? I installed one of the recommended webmail clients (UebiMiau) and i am able to send and receive email fine. But I want to configure it in such a way that I can send and receive email using Thunderbird etc. Yes, I have enabled Maildir option under "Management -> Server -> Settings -> EMail"
Of course you can use a regular email client, that's no problem at all. Make sure your firewall doesn't block the POP3 and IMAP ports.
Results of "nmap tab" PORT STATE SERVICE 21/tcp open ftp 22/tcp open ssh 25/tcp open smtp 53/tcp open domain 80/tcp open http 81/tcp open hosts2-ns 110/tcp open pop3 143/tcp open imap 443/tcp open https 993/tcp open imaps 995/tcp open pop3s 3306/tcp open mysql They are open!
Did a quick hack Hey falko: I changed Courier's IMAP config param from MAILDIRPATH=/Maildir to MAILDIRPATH=/var/www/web5/user/web5_ray/Maildir and I can retrieve emails through an email client (Thunderbird). Something tells me that this is not the right way though. Could you tell me if what I did was right? Thanks.
That way you can retrieve only emails for web5_ray. It should work with Code: MAILDIRPATH=/Maildir , if not, try Code: MAILDIRPATH=/$HOME/Maildir
Cool Works fine now. I changed the settings to /$HOME/Maildir Thanks you very much Falko.. Do you have any recommendations for a good mailing list manager which will be a breeze to setup on Debian Sarge?
I don't think there's an eays-to-set-up mailing list manager. Personally, I'm using Mailgust, which was easy to set up, but it's not developed anymore, and you can't download I anymore. But you can use Mailman, it works with ISPConfig. Make sure to follow the Mailman installlation instructions.
