Hi,

I seem to have another problem :p

Well Im trying to login with SquirrelMail lastest version but keep getting:

Code: 
ERROR
Unknown user or password incorrect.

This is with every mail account I have example: [email protected] (btw the pw is entered in right, this is same with the other 5 mail accounts)

The only account I can login with is admin it works can send/receive mail etc

Log (if it helps)

Code: 
Sep 29 15:19:28 ***** imapd[12029]: imap service init from 127.0.0.1
Sep 29 15:19:31 *****  imapd[12029]: Logout user=test@***** host=localhost.localdomain [127.0.0.1]
Sep 29 15:26:44 *****  imapd[27701]: imap service init from 127.0.0.1
Sep 29 15:26:47 *****  imapd[27701]: Logout user= host=localhost.localdomain [127.0.0.1]

Code: 
Sep 29 15:16:31 *****  imapd[20276]: Login failed user= auth= host=localhost.localdomain [127.0.0.1]
Sep 29 15:16:44 *****  imapd[28322]: Login failed user= auth= host=localhost.localdomain [127.0.0.1]
Sep 29 15:19:10 *****  imapd[24473]: Login failed user=test@g*****  auth=test@g*****  host=localhost.localdomain [127.0.0.1]
Sep 29 15:19:28 *****  imapd[12029]: Login failed user=test@***** auth=test@*****  host=localhost.localdomain [127.0.0.1]
Sep 29 15:26:44 *****  imapd[27701]: Login failed user= auth= host=localhost.localdomain [127.0.0.1]
Sep 29 15:26:50 *****  imapd[27709]: Login failed user=test@*****  auth=test@***** host=localhost.localdomain [127.0.0.1]

Any help would be appreciated.

TIA
 
Squirrelmail uses IMAP while whereas Outlook may be using POP. If that's true, then the problem is with your imap daemon or settings.

Are you using Dovecot? If not perhaps you should switch to it. If you are perhaps you should make sure it's updated to the latest version.

I had dovecot but that had problems in itself (see this http://www.directadmin.com/forum/showthread.php?t=27878) Now if I try to start it I get address in use.

The SquirrelMail configtest shows this

Code: 
Checking outgoing mail service....
    SMTP server OK (220 *********.net ESMTP Exim 4.61 Tue, 30 Sep 2008 00:44:46 +0100)
Checking IMAP service....
    IMAP server ready (* OK [CAPABILITY IMAP4REV1 LITERAL+ SASL-IR LOGIN-REFERRALS AUTH=LOGIN] localhost.localdomain IMAP4rev1 2004.357 at Tue, 30 Sep 2008 00:44:46 +0100 (BST))
    Capabilities: * CAPABILITY IMAP4REV1 LITERAL+ IDLE NAMESPACE MAILBOX-REFERRALS BINARY UNSELECT SCAN SORT THREAD=REFERENCES THREAD=ORDEREDSUBJECT MULTIAPPEND SASL-IR LOGIN-REFERRALS AUTH=LOGIN

So IMAP is running? I can log into the admin account but every other account gets user/pass error.

I have the exact same problem here.

My default installation came with dovecot, I turn it off and now using imapd/vm-pop3d

and I can't log-in with right login details into squirrelmail with the same errors

in /var/log/messages:
Login failed user

in the squirrelmail:
ERROR
Unknown user or password incorrect.

Is there any fix? Maybe something about permissions, missing directories or something?
I just move from an old server to a new one.
 
DirectAdmin is moving towards Dovecot and doesn't support going back; they say specifically in their documentation that the move is one-way. But I don't see why going back should affect passwords.

What happens when you update the password for a user?

Are you referring to virtual mailboxes or the main user mailbox for each user?

Hey, the problem was that i forget set dovecot = 0 before restoring the backups, so the passwd files was in dovecot format and not in the wu-imapd format.

The fix was easy, just restoring the passwd's files (that I previsouly backup before moving to the new server) .
