Problem with Imap..Help!

[doublea]

Hey,

I did a pretty "mass" upgrade of apache, courier, fetchmail, mysql, php, etc, before I truly understood direct admin. I've gotten everything else woking fine, but when I upgraded my Courier-imap (to courier-imap 4.1.1.2006) via aptitude, I have run into problems.

Any "real" system user would fail login due to a missing mail directory..fine, so I created courier mail dir's in their user directories. Any virtual users added no longer can log in! What is different about my upgraded courier? Anyone have any tips on how I can fix this?

Thanks very much.

If it helps, my exim is 4.62-1, but I'm not familar on how imap and DA and everything works together...

My understanding is that Courier isn't used in DirectAdmin; DA uses the University of Washington IMAP server.

You should probably remove it and install the imap program DA supplies, from the DA repository.

Or after removing it, and the mailboxes yo've manually created, switch to Dovecot. Presuming the DirectAdmin created mailboxes are all still in place, the conversion should fix everything.

Search these forums for more information and links.
