Hi folks. New to both dovecot and openldap. Trying to set up virtual domains using the wanderingbarque howto: http://www.wanderingbarque.com/mailserver.html Platform is RH enterprise 3.

The same Maildir's are being served up on both -- the OS X server exports home directories to the clients via NFS. BUT the OS X box orders mailboxes this way: INBOX Deleted Items Sent Items . . .

FreeBSD 5.2.1 Upgraded to dovecot 0.99.12.1 After authentication failed, I also upgraded OpenLDAP to 2.2.19 Dovecot and OpenLDAP are now the most recent versions in the ports. I can access the LDAP info through the OpenLDAP client without a problem, so slapd seems to be working fine. Both dovecot and OpenLDAP worked fine before the upgrade.
