    Hello everyone,
    I discovered there is little this forum and many HowTo available.
    Which incidentally are really well done and complete.

    In fact, I tested several HowTo on HowToForge with different distro and tutorial, but every time I fail.

    To be specific, I take my last installation using this HowTo: http://www.howtoforge.com/virtual-users-and-domains-with-postfix-courier-mysql-and-squirrelmail-debian-wheezy
    Everything works perfectly, SSH, Lamp, phpMyAdmin, etc ...

    Even the electronic mail, almost, if I connect via Squirrelmail no worries, I sent and I receive messages by cons if I want to connect via Thunderbird, then there impossible.

    Honestly, I did a lot of research and testing, but nothing, then before you do anything, again, I prefer to post here hoping a solution.

    To be complete, let me say that I installed Bind9 and he manages the DNS for multiple domains, and finally for my tests, I haven't activated IPTABLES filters.

    I stick up below the results via Syslog my last attempt to connect via Thunderbird.

    Thank you to you in advance

    If I try to connect without specifying:
    Code:

    If I try to connect by specifying that it is with Start IMAP / SSL
    Code:

    Jul 21 21:09:17 ns388542 imapd: LOGOUT, ip=[::ffff:88.208.300.80], rcvd=24, sent=88.208.300.80
    
    If I tells Thunderbird that is STARTTLS
    Code:
    Jul 21 21:10:45 ns388542 imapd: Connection, ip=[::ffff:88.208.300.80]
    Jul 21 21:10:45 ns388542 imapd: LOGOUT, ip=[::ffff:88.208.300.80], rcvd=24, sent=464

    Hi

    Did you followed the chapter 14 of the above guide?

    Its mandatory to send the welcome mail for the account creation. When the account will be created then you will be able to access it through squirrelmail then further in thunderbird.

    HI,
    yes, I installed the package mailutils then I sent a message via mailx for each account to create the box.

    This allows me to connect via Squirrelmail, send and receive emails without any problem.

    By cons, if I want to see my mails via Thunderbird, impossible.
