Hello,

Sinds we have update to dovecot and delete vm-pop3 software users can not read all messages from other email accounts within squirrelmail.

When you use Mbox you can login in squirrelmail, click on the link "folders" and below these page you can add (Subscribe) other mailboxes so you can read all messages from other email accounts whit the same domainname.

Sinds we have update to dovecot (maildir) users can not switch to other mailboxes or can not add mailboxes.
squirrelmail says:
- No folders were found to unsubscribe from!
- No folders were found to subscribe to!

How can whe fix this litle problem?
 
Never having used Squirrelmail to log into a username email account before, I didn't know it was possible. Interesting.

I didn't know that was a feature.

Perhaps DirectAdmin staff can tell us if they did anything to enable it originally, or if it just worked.

And if they did something, can they do something again :) .

Hello,

Yes, that's correct snapps. DA does not setup the symbolic links to the other Maildir folders with dovecot.

If you want to try adding it, you could do so by typing:
Code:
cd /home/username/Maildir
ln -s /home/username/imap/domain.com/[b]user[/b]/Maildir .[b]user[/b]
for each user. I'm not sure if it will work though.. Maildir is setup a bit differently, and is more complex.

Hi,

This is working, but if I make symlink to Maildir other user I can read his emails.
