Hi all,
I have installed dovecot on redhat linux with
ldap backend. I can login using ldap account in to my
webmail (squirrelmail) .But when I login to the
webmail , I cant see any inbox or anything . Just some
error messages like this ,
ERROR:
ERROR : Connection dropped by imap-server.
Query: LIST "" "Sent"
ERROR : Could not complete request.
Query: SELECT "INBOX"
Reason Given:
I tried to telnet to port 143. Its also similar case.
It allows me to login but when I give "select" command
, it gives error(in fact, "NO" and nothing else).
Required info,
OS - Redhat 8.0
dovecot - dovecot-0.99.10-2.dag.src.rpm ( --with-ldap
--with-rawlog additionally)
MTA - Exim 4.14
Webmail - Squirrelmail 1.4.1-2
Location of Maildir - /var/spool/mail/USERNAME/Maildir
dovecot configuration has the following line,
default_mail_env = maildir:/var/spool/mail/%u/Maildir
Is there anything I am missing or doing wrong ? I am
sorry if this is a silly question. But I am a newbie
to dovecot and did a lot of google search for this
error or even additional documentation for dovecot
without any success. Any suggestion or advice would be
highly appreciated.
Regards,
Nasirudheen

Hi,
Thanx a lot for your reply. But my log file(its
/var/log/dovecot) doesnt have any information other
than the following line for example,
imap-login: Sep 16 10:31:50 Info: Login: usr1
[127.0.0.1]
After this when I give select command or anything like
that, its not logged(I dont know also, how to enable
maximum debug information, I checked the docs and all)
Again, let me tell you that I suspect there is
something wrong with the mail environment setting. its
as follows
default_mail_env = maildir:/var/spool/mail/%u/Maildir
and when i give some nonexisting location ( eg;
/var/blah/blah) also, I get the SAME ERROR.
Here is a sample telnet session
Trying 127.0.0.1...
Connected to localhost.localdomain (127.0.0.1).
Escape character is '^]'.
* OK dovecot ready.
a01 login usr1 XXXXXXXXX
a01 OK Logged in.
a02 select inbox
a02 NO
Please tell me if you would like to have any other
info.
Thanx again and regards,
Nasirudheen
