Hello, I m having troubles with squirrelmail, actually the problem is that squirrelmail shows an empty inbox but then when I try to send email from squirrelmail they show perfectly on the Sent folder.
I noticed that the inbox in my system is in /Home/USER/Maildir/new/ this is actually where all emails that i send from squirrelmail are stored but I cant make squirellmail look for mails in this folder.
the Sent and trash folder are in /var/spool/....Sent or Trash.
Can anyone please tell me how to point squirrelmail to look for the inbox mail in my $HOME/Maildir?
I tried setting this up using conf.pl but It didnt work.

Thank you

I did everything again from scrarch and the problem persists, I think It may have something to do with how I add users to the mail server.
This is what I do:

su cyrus
cyradm localhost
>cm user.xxxx
>quit
exit
saslpasswd2 -c -u server1 xxxx
useradd -d /home/xxxx -m xxxx

my domain is server1.example.com
Im only trying to build a test server on my computer, I dont need a real Domainname.
I will be login in with different users but everything from my computer.

Thank you very much :)

Perhaps you need to run the "useradd" command before anything else.

If cyradmin needs to create or update files in the users home directory it won't be able to if it doesn't exist.

Also, the /Home/USER/Maildir/new directory is for new incoming emails, and shouldn't have anything else in there.

Perhaps you need to change your settings in squirrelmail to use the correct Sent folder?

Rich.
