 |
|
I've just migrated my (Debian) server over to Gentoo, and am having a few issues getting mail back to normal.
After a bit of dicking around I managed to pull the relevant parts of my old Postfix config in, and now delivery is working fine. New mail is correctly appearing in ~/Maildir/new/.
Permissions on my folders seem to be fine:
| Code: | [31] trejkaz@carroll:~> ls -la Maildir/
total 61
drwx------ 33 trejkaz users 1024 Sep 6 10:45 .
drwx--x--x 54 trejkaz users 11264 Sep 6 10:46 ..
-rw-r--r-- 1 trejkaz users 6 Aug 28 21:09 courierimapsubscribed
-rw-r--r-- 1 trejkaz users 747 Sep 4 13:58 courierimapuiddb
drwx------ 2 trejkaz users 6144 Sep 4 13:58 cur
drwx------ 2 trejkaz users 5120 Sep 6 10:42 new
drwx------ 2 trejkaz users 1024 Sep 6 10:42 tmp

I can access the folder directly using mutt and things work. I haven't changed the permissions on the files since restoring the backup, because I made sure all the users were recreated with the same UIDs.
But accessing the folder via IMAP with mutt, I get this error:
| Code: | | Mailbox does not exist, or must be subscribed to. |
Has anyone seen this sort of behaviour? And what causes it? Most indications say that the permissions are wrong, but they look right to the naked eye.  |

Well I've _half_ solved the problem now. Turns out Gentoo has ~/.maildir/, while Debian had ~/Maildir/. It bothers me a bit that there didn't seem to be any place to configure this, but I renamed the folder anyway.
So now I can open things like "=Lists", but I still can't open the inbox itself. The inbox is giving the same error as before.  |

The config for courier is in the /etc/courier-imap folder
there are 4 files that mention the maildir location.
imapd
imapd-ssl
pop3d
pop3d-ssl
edit the ones for the servers you are using. The option is at the end of the files. |

| Okay, but I renamed my maildirs now anyway. The question now is, why can't I open =INBOX when I can open =AnyOtherFolder? |
