Squirrelmail+mail-fetchmail Plugin for POP+Cyrus-imapd+Sendmail

**honey bee** · 05-18-2006, 01:52 PM

Hello!

I am working on FC2 and cyrus-imapd, sendmail, squirrelmail are installed with it.I have created a system user "ali" with whom i try to login.

I have added only this line to "imapd.conf" file:

Code:

sasl_passwd_check=shadow

I made no change to sendmail and in squirrelmail "config.php" file i have changed imap server to "cyrus" and added a plugin mail_fetchmail to enable POP.

I am facing the following problem:

By default i have the following settings in "config.php" for squirrelmail:

Code:

$imap_server_type       = 'cyrus';
$invert_time            = false;
$optional_delimiter     = '.';

$default_folder_prefix          = '';
$trash_folder                   = 'INBOX.Trash';
$sent_folder                    = 'INBOX.Sent';
$draft_folder                   = 'INBOX.Drafts';

and when i try to login i get these errors:

Code:

ERROR : Could not complete request.
Query: CREATE "INBOX.Sent"
Reason Given: Permission denied

and

Code:

ERROR : Could not complete request.
Query: SELECT "INBOX"
Reason Given: Mailbox does not exist
and if change the settings to:

and when i tried the settings:

Code:

$imap_server_type       = 'cyrus';
$invert_time            = false;
$optional_delimiter     = '.';

$default_folder_prefix          = '';
$trash_folder                   = 'INBOX/Trash';
$sent_folder                    = 'INBOX/Sent';
$draft_folder                   = 'INBOX/Drafts';

I get this error:

Code:

ERROR:
ERROR : Could not complete request.
Query: CREATE "INBOX/Sent"
Reason Given: Invalid mailbox name

and another error:

Code:

ERROR:
ERROR : Could not complete request.
Query: SELECT "INBOX"
Reason Given: Mailbox does not exist

I have tried to find a solution but nothing worked.May be i missed something in the other files which was to be added or enabled or disabled.

Plz help me with it.

Just make sure to make the mailboxes (with the proper permission) before trying to login with the user. Might be your issue, or at least that's what the errors seem to be saying.

honey bee, you may try this:

Code:

$imap_server_type       = 'cyrus';
$invert_time            = false;
$optional_delimiter     = '/';

$default_folder_prefix          = '';
$trash_folder                   = 'Trash';
$sent_folder                    = 'Sent';
$draft_folder                   = 'Drafts';

It works fine for me. I used to get the same error which I corrected by making these changes. It's an issue with cyrus.

I hope this sorts it out for you.
