not sure why this happened, got the roundcube database error so tried to follow the repair procedures
http://help.directadmin.com/item.php?id=206
but I got the Error dropping database (can't rmdir './da_roundcube/', errno: 17) warning.
I have never edited the default da_admin info so not sure why this happened.

but I renamed the da_roundcube directory and then did a ./build roundcube and it seems fine now. then deleted the renamed directory.

not sure but it seemed to me, with no real investigation, roundcube has its own user and password (we know this is true) yet initially it was trying to use the da_admin password which did not have rights.
where I didn't have time to troubleshoot I just did the drop/recreate and it seems to have maintained the older emails.
where I only keep a few days worth its hard to say how accurate that is though.
 
The emails are not stored in roundcube so of course they will not be affected. However if you clients used roundcube to store their contacts then all of that is lost.

You should have tarred /var/lib/mysql/da_roundcube/ so you might be able to work with it later to try to restore anything that might have been lost.
 
I downloaded it if needed, all t he accounts are mine anyways.
am having some issues, dosn't seem to update. both roundcube and squirrel not getting stuff but can send,
need to look at clam/spamassisin I think.
 
Keep in mind that these are just mail clients like any other that may be on your computer. Mail does not "go to them." They simply read the mail that is in your inbox. So you need to manually check your inbox to see if there is anything for them to see.
 
yeah I know how htey work, incoming mail not arriving though and nothing being sent back to my exchange server here so I suspect its exim issue.
if I got any bounce back I could look at headers but noting. this has actually been issue since I swapped to nginx and is starting to piss me off.
 
spamd was blocking everything.
working on that now. with spamd off everything works.
 
don't actually remember installing it and all the accounts have it set to off, so not sure how it happened.
its obviously something I did I just cannot see what LOL
