Greetings
Finally got my system all working but I'm having big troubles trying to configure my Maildir setup. For some reason roundcube does not show my Maildir tree. I have tried a variety of settings using imap_root etc. Stilll no go. My Maildir has INBOX then "INBOX.Folders" but also have ".Folders" only Highlighting the imap folder does not work. No new mail appears...
It could be a permission issue but have also tried that. Anybody have something similar??
Currently using NGINX/Dovecot/Postfix

I would suggest posting your 'dovecot.conf' file here. When you configure Thunderbird with IMAP4, do you then see the Maildir/ folder structure?
Here's my dovecot -n output
Hope this helps!!

BTW I can see my folder tree fine with my client. mutt or pegasus mail no problems. It's just roundcube webmail at the moment which is causing a few grey hairs!!
hey def1, just found out that i can use what you have suggested here...i was having the same kind of problem for days...thanks a lot though...

Still cannot read/view emails. Tried a variety of options. Could someone who has RC/dovecot/postfix running on IMAP please show me your main folder options and permissions Just to see what I'm doing wrong
Yes I will as soon as I get in the office Wed. I will post my config. I have this working on my the following servers:
Work = CentOS 5
Personal = Arch 2009.08
Friend = Debian 5
All three servers I have above use Postfix 2.6, Dovecot, Apache, RoundCube, & MySQL. Sorry I can't be an immediate assistance. Check back tomorrow.
Good news. Finally solved the crisis. It was a dovecot server configuration issue. I enabled imap protocol 143 and this seemed to have solved everything. Previously used only 993.
A big relief!:
Awesome! 993 is a thing of the past.
Port 993 is IMAP-S, or IMAP via SSL/TLS. 993 traffic is encrypted and not vulnerable to snooping. My organization ONLY allows 993, we block all non-secure ports. Roundcube can be easily configured to talk on 993.
IMAP-S or SSL is dated and no longer used IMO. I use TLS and SASL which I believe is the predecessor to SSL or as your refer to as IMAP-S.
Quote from: Carlwill;24949IMAP-S or SSL is dated and no longer used IMO. I use TLS and SASL which I believe is the predecessor to SSL or as your refer to as IMAP-S.
You have that backwards TLS is newer then SSL, TLS has better security but is still not as wildly used for example GMail still uses SSL.
I contradicted myself in my above statement but yes, TLS is new and should be used over SSL. SSLv3 is dated and replaced by TLSv1. That is what I meant to say.
Sorry for my confusion of the word predecessor.
Greetings so considering all of the above options TLS is definitely the way to go over SSL?
Would love to know a definite rule of thumb!!
If TLS its definitely the better option its newer and more secure.
Yes. Use TLS & SASL for email. There are tons of guides on how to set up Postfix using TLS.
This is what I used and it's working perfect!
