Postfix and ThunderBird ... .
hi to all .
i have postfix installed on my Fedora 8 system and its working fine . now on my other Desktop and laptop i have thunderbird installed. now i have created the email addresses. but i can not connect to the mail box . it keep saying . Alert. current command did not succeed, the mail server responded: Mailbox dose not exist ?? thanx for the help . |
Try having a look in /var/log/maillog on the fedora/postfix machine, that should give you a clue.

Postfix is a mail transfer agent (MTA), not a mailbox server. Can you explain a bit more what you are trying to do?
I suspect you need a POP/IMAP server like dovecot |

thanx for the replay . yes i have Cyrus running on my system "imap" and Postfix . which is running fine so far . and i also configured my thunderbird to one of the accounts i have on my fedora system, therefore . i can connnect with no problems :) .. the only problem iam finding is that my thuderbird account dose not see my folder structure. as a result is informs me that there is no folder with that name . i beleive iam missing a step here but i cant point out ??? |
I use dovecot I'm afraid, so can't really help you there.

I know courier imap has a tool to create the folders structure.. did you just manually create folders on the server in your mailbox or was their a utility involved like maildirmake My example is for Courier imap. I have not used cyrus but it may have a similar tool

Over posting there.
You could just install dovecot and stop the cyrus service (chkconfig cyrus off and service cyrus stop - check service name first) |
