From: Chavdar Videff on 9 Jun 2005 08:20 Hi List, First of all thank you for all your replies I have recieved so far on several occasions. I have the following problem: We have a mailserver running Sendmail 8.13 on Debian unstable. Our clients connect through POP3 to fetch mail. Recently my boss wanted to be able to check his mail through a web interface when he is abroad. After some initial searching I decided to test Squirrelmail. Installation and initial configuration was OK. It is now accessed through the browser. But there is the following problem: since we get mail through POP3 I cannot figure out how to have both POP3 and IMAP on the same machine. I installed cyrus-imapd and I can log in squirrelmail. But all I get is error messages in the browser: ERROR : Could not complete request. Query: SELECT "INBOX" Reason Given: Mailbox does not exist and ERROR : Could not complete request. Query: CREATE "INBOX.Sent" Reason Given: Permission denied I couldn't find a working solution at squirrelmail website. ANY hints?

Especially when the version of sendmail you are currently using is in the just released stable. Judging from the rest of your email (which I have snipped) it looks like you have this system in production. Are you certain you want it running unstable? -Roberto -- Roberto C.

However I don't think it is an unstable issue but rather an issue of proper configuration which I could not find documented properly or perhaps am not experienced enough to solve myself Regards Chavdar Videff -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-REQUEST(a)lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".

Got the following error: ========== /etc/rc2.d/S21dovecot start Starting mail server: dovecotWarning: Corrected permissions for login directory /var/run/dovecot/login ========== Now nobody can check their mail if a new message has arrived: The error in /var/log/mail.log is: Jun 9 18:35:37 mail1 pop3(chavdar): open(/var/mail/chavdar.lock) failed: Permission denied Jun 9 18:35:37 mail1 pop3(chavdar): file_lock_dotlock() failed with mbox file /var/mail/chavdar: Permission denied So far the permissions of all mboxes in /var/mail were -rw------- 1 trade1 root 1768928 Jun 8 19:20 trade1 -rw------- 1 trade2 root 5585155 Jun 7 09:21 trade2 -rw------- 1 trade3 root 1733158 Feb 25 14:44 trade3 Is it the problem. It worked so far. Will receiving mail break if I reset ownership to root.root Regards Chavdar Videff -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-REQUEST(a)lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?

Now the only major problem that remained is Squirrelmail. When there is no new mail - a user can log in and browse the folders and even send mail. The moment a new mail for that user arrives squirrelmail displays an Internal error ERROR : Could not complete request. Query: SELECT "INBOX" Reason Given: Internal error occured. Refer to server log for more information. The log says: Jun 9 19:15:14 mail1 imap-login: Login: chaves [127.0.0.1] Jun 9 19:15:14 mail1 imap(chaves): open(/var/mail/chaves.lock) failed: Permission denied Jun 9 19:15:14 mail1 imap(chaves): file_lock_dotlock() failed with mbox file /var/mail/chaves: Permission denied Jun 9 19:15:14 mail1 imap(chaves): open(/var/mail/chaves.lock) failed: Permission denied Jun 9 19:15:14 mail1 imap(chaves): file_lock_dotlock() failed with mbox file /var/mail/chaves: Permission denied I have to download mail with a mail client and then again can I browse the folders of squirrelmail.
