It could be at postfixadmin to see if that worked correctly check the database if it shows the proper directories for the user. Or it could be for courierauth. @Hector, it looks like you forget to setup the directory structure correctly for some part of the installation.

Here's a brief summary: 1. Roundcube can send email through the test page and it can also see the IMAP server. Both authenticate correctly through mysql according to the mail log. 2. In the Roundcube user mail interface, there is only an INBOX and no email messages. If I add mail foders, they don't show although in the folders tab I can see them. Enabling them on the folders tab doesn't make a difference. 3. In the /usr/local/virtual/ I can see the folders, but they are on the root of the directory. I was under the impression that it would create a folder within and dump all the mail items in there. Here is the terminal print (my user name is "el"):MacMini:virtual el$ sudo ls -l -a Password: total 0 drwxrwx--x 3 _vmail _postfix 102 Dec 18 11:37 . drwxr-xr-x 16 root wheel 544 Dec 18 01:04 .. drwx------ 9 _vmail _postfix 306 Dec 18 11:37 .test-rename MacMini:virtual el$ pwd /usr/local/virtual MacMini:virtual el$ mail Mail version 8.1 6/6/93.

I think I am almost there, but I am stuck on the mail delivery. Here’s a brief summary:
1. Roundcube can send email through the test page and it can also see the IMAP server. Both authenticate correctly through mysql according to the mail log.
2. In the Roundcube user mail interface, there is only an INBOX and no email messages. If I add mail foders, they don’t show although in the folders tab I can see them. Enabling them on the folders tab doesn’t make a difference.
3. In the /usr/local/virtual/ I can see the folders, but they are on the root of the directory. I was under the impression that it would create a folder within and dump all the mail items in there. Here is the terminal print (my user name is “el”):MacMini:virtual el$ sudo ls -l -a

As you can see all the mail is going to /var/mail/el.

I was wondering if you can give me a few ideas as where to begin troubleshooting the problem. I have checked everything I can think of, but I am not getting anywhere. All the installations went fine.

Fon instance, in Mail.app select the Sent folder, go to the Mailbox menu, select the option "Use this mailbox for" and select Sent. You can now delete the folder Sent Messages and the Send folder is used. It works the same on the iPhone and Touch.

A user that uses the mac mail app will find that the defaults for that mail client create folders called ".Sent Messages" and ".Deleted Messages". I fixed this problem by adding a quick sym link to .Trash and .Sent so roundcube could delete mail and use the same sent folder. Also once you create the links you need to change the ownership to _vmail:_postfix A quick note for users that use Roundcube webmail as well as the mac mail client – Roundcube expects folder names of .Trash and .Sent for the trash and sent folders (In /usr/local/virtual/domain/user/).

It is corrected and he has a fully finctional mailserver at the moment. David had made his postfix virtual config files unreadable for the postfix user.

I have installed everything and it's working properly as far as I can tell, but I don't have any users in the db to log in with. Roundcube doesn't create the users, and postfix created a user in the postfix db, but from what I can tell, Roundcube uses the roundcubemail db (and I think it looks for users in /usr/local/virtual and there are no files in that directory. Any help is appreciated! Cheers, David Hey all,
