I did the installation process from this tutorial: https://www.howtoforge.com/virtual-...-courier-mysql-and-squirrelmail-debian-wheezy Error from webmail: ERROR: Could not complete request. Query: SELECT "INBOX". Reason Given: Unable to open this mailbox. Also when I add the account to Thunderbird I get this error: /var/log/mail.log Code: Jan 3 23:03:25 HOSTNAME imapd: LOGIN, [email protected], ip=[::ffff:1.1.1.1], port=[58584], protocol=IMAP Jan 3 23:03:32 HOSTNAME imapd: LOGOUT, [email protected], ip=[::ffff:1.1.1.1], headers=0, body=0, rcvd=28, sent=115, time=49 Jan 3 23:03:32 HOSTNAME imapd: LOGOUT, [email protected], ip=[::ffff:1.1.1.1], headers=0, body=0, rcvd=28, sent=115, time=7 Jan 3 23:03:32 HOSTNAME imapd: LOGOUT, [email protected], ip=[::ffff:1.1.1.1], headers=0, body=0, rcvd=177, sent=395, time=56 Jan 3 23:07:12 HOSTNAME imapd: Connection, ip=[::1] Jan 3 23:07:12 HOSTNAME imapd: LOGIN, [email protected], ip=[::1], port=[59223], protocol=IMAP
The mailbox gets created when the first email is sent to it, so you cant access it until then. Please see the tutorial, it contains instructions to send a email to the mailbox on the shell to create it. If you like to have a easier to maontain virtual user setup, then you should take a look at one of the perfect server guides with ispconfig 3.
