alright i have a imap/courier server and squirrel mail installed. i can log into squirrelmail fine but the mail does not show up in squirrel mail. the mail is on the server so i believe squirrel mail is looking in the wrong directory for the mail, how do i change the directory that squirrel mail looks in?
yes i have no errors. im very positive somewhere somethiing is not pointing to the right directory because the mail is on the server in /var/spool/mail/client
in /etc there is no config file for courier
does dovecot work nicely with squirrelmail?
the problem with switching to dovecot is that i followed the perfect server for fedora 10 for use with ispconfig 3.
so by switching im not sure if the control panel would support it. do you know of any open source control panels that work with dovecot?
im sure ispconfig 3 would work with dovecot but i am a student just trying to see if i can setup a server that could be a decent web hosting provider and i do not have much experience in linux or advanced computer "techniques" if you will.
Question for you - are you mails in /var/spool/mail/client in mbox or Maildir format? I get the feeling that courier-imap only wouks with Maildir. if you aren't sure, Maildir keeps one file per message whereas mbox has one large file.
Dovecot is fine with squirrelmail - I use it myself. I can't talk about isp3config, but dovecot usually works out of the box without any configuration, and if it does need any, it's pretty obvious what to change in the config
based on the description of maildir and mbox that you just gave me, the mail is in mbox format. im pretty sure it needs to be in maildir. how do i change that?
thanks for taking the time to try and help me out btw
