hi there, i'm trying to setup dovecot with squirrel mail at the moment and i'm getting this error message ERROR: ERROR : Could not complete request. Query: CREATE "Sent" Reason Given: Permission denied ERROR: ERROR : Connection dropped by imap-server. Query: SELECT "INBOX" can someone tell me what this means? and what folders i have to change the permissions on? this is out of my /etc/dovecot.conf file if it helps default_mail_env = mbox:/var/mail/%u:mbox:~/mail/

It will almost certainly be shown in the log files - I'm sure it was when I was debugging this same problem. Your subsequent message of 13 January 2006 03:56:16 GMT is the same issue as this one. (Actually, I think your last message might be, too). "i can send emails and i know they get there ... but ... i can['t] retrive them using squirrelmail" is symptomatic of a permissions problem. Stroller.

You probably want: default_mail_env = mbox:~/mail:INBOX=/var/mail/%u That was in the examples.. -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
