ERROR : Connection dropped by imap-server.
Query: SELECT "INBOX"

This is the error what I get from squirrelmail, normal webmail just gives me: login failure/wrong password(password is correct, also changed it and retryed it).

This is only with 1 user....
please help me out, thanx.
 
Hello,
I am also facing the same problem.

ERROR: Connection dropped by IMAP server.
Query: STATUS "INBOX" (MESSAGES UNSEEN RECENT)

I have only 5MB mailbox size.

maillog shows :

Command stream end of file, while reading line [email protected].

Hello,

Right after generating that error, check:
/var/log/messages
/var/log/maillog

I've gotten this error before, after I tried to manually update the imap daemon. But after going back to the supplied daemon in DA, everything worked again.

Are there any kind of strange things in the username?
 
Hello,

It may be related to full quotas for the username. Check
Code: 
quota -v [b]username[/b]
to see what his current usage is. If dovecot can't write it's files, things probably won't work correctly.

Yep. It's always been overlimit when we've seen the problem.

Here's what we've found:

We don't have quota running on /var but we do have it running on /home.

When we switched to Dovecot, all the mail got moved from /var to /home.

And all of a sudden a lot of users were overlimit.

so you are saying the current mail system is not properly tracking users email boxes? I don't understand how before the upgrade some mail was not being considered in the quota.

Most systems should have the quota running on / correct?
 
I didn't say that because I don't know what you've set up. Our systems only enforce the quota on /home; that's part of the linux quota system.

DA counts the email no matter where it is, but doesn't enforce quotas; it leaves that up to the quota system.
