I recently followed Falko's great guide for setting up an Ubuntu 9.04 + ISPconfig3 perfect server. I'm having problems retreiving a test user's email. I sent mail from an external account/domain. I can see the mail sitting in the user's new folder: /var/vmail/<my domain>/<username>/new/1244blahblahblah.<servername>.S=7384 Logging in to squirrelmail as: [email protected] gives the error: << ERROR: Connection dropped by IMAP server. Query: CAPABILITY >> Setting up Thunderbird to use IMAP seems to sit in a never ending loop of: connected to <server> checking... sending login information... Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
This is from /var/log/mail.log showing the connection attempts where xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx is my work IP where I'm at: << Jun 10 07:49:55 dbl imapd: Connection, ip=[::ffff:xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx] Jun 10 07:50:01 dbl last message repeated 8 times Jun 10 07:50:02 dbl pop3d: Connection, ip=[::1] Jun 10 07:50:02 dbl pop3d: Disconnected, ip=[::1] Jun 10 07:50:02 dbl imapd: Connection, ip=[::1] Jun 10 07:50:02 dbl imapd: Disconnected, ip=[::1], time=0 Jun 10 07:50:02 dbl postfix/smtpd[21722]: connect from localhost[127.0.0.1] Jun 10 07:50:02 dbl postfix/smtpd[21722]: lost connection after CONNECT from localhost[127.0.0.1] Jun 10 07:50:02 dbl postfix/smtpd[21722]: disconnect from localhost[127.0.0.1] Jun 10 07:50:02 dbl imapd: Connection, ip=[::ffff:xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx] Jun 10 07:50:33 dbl last message repeated 73 times >> mail.err and mail.warn are empty.
No completely empy. And like I said... email arrives to the designated user in his vmail account in /var/vmail/domain/user/new folder and I can read it on the server by using cat or vi or whatever. But I can't use any kind of client to connect to retrieve it. It's like the connection request is dropped instantly. which is pretty much how squirrelmail reports it: ERROR: ERROR: Connection dropped by IMAP server. Query: CAPABILITY If all else fails, I can do a reinstall. and possibly use 8.04LTS instead.
