how to create Maildir postfix
 

Hi,

I have installed postfix and courier-imap
but all users and new users do not have
/Maildir in their home folder

how do i set these dir to be created?
Debian 3.1

Thanks,
Alex

You can use the maildirmake from qmail ... OR

mkdir -p /home/usename/Maildir/{cur,new,tmp} for existing users; perhaps use a for script if you have a lot of users.


mkdir -p /etc/skel/Maildir/{cur,new,tmp} this will create the Maildir in the home directories when you create new users.

it worked..

Thanks!

somebody help me please

I suggest examining /var/log/mail.log and /var/log/mail.err the will be info what caused the problem. There could also be a problem with config files from postfix and/or courier (if you're using it). I think you should provide more details not just short general mail delivery message...

Hi,
along with checking the logs as already suggested, I wonder how you ended up creating the maildirs. If you did the following for your users
you will also need to make the sure the ownership is correct. Eg.
and should also make sure they are only readable/writable by the owner
