adding Maildir to the users account
 

How does one had the Maildir to the users account

I created the user account, but he or she doesn't have Maildir folder under thier account.

So when i try checking the mail the password box keeps poping up.

using postfix and courier

Try the maildirmake command.

I tried that one

unless i got it wrong

maildirmake /home/user/Maildir

I came across this

my path is

[root@localhost]# find / -name maildirmake
/downloads/courier-imap-3.0.7/maildirmake
/downloads/courier-imap-3.0.7/maildir/maildirmake
/usr/lib/courier-imap/bin/maildirmake


Is that the correct setup, do i have to be in the directory of user or directory courier-imap to run the command ?

what do they mean by Setup shared folders :confused:

That looks right - did it give you any error messages? If it couldn't create the directory, I would expect some sort of message about it. It works for me :S

I had a friend setup my email-server

I'm able to send and recive mail ok to him and anywhere else

I'm just trying to see if i could do it before hes come along and checks it, he has help me alot, thanks J

So i was wondering if thats the right way to do it, because i dont want to stuff it.

is there any thing else i should check, i know how to add extra mail for users so he or she can have more than one mail address

vi /etc/postfix/aliases then edit file

testaccount: username

then run

postalias /etc/postfix/aliases

same on me

It was allrady going, i had the wrong spelling in there

thanks for the help and tips
