mwsc.local is pointing toward (and connecting to) mwsc.local on the hmail server
mail is suppose to be set to local emailing only until I solve and setup most of the settings

Situation: I just installed this by watching a youtube video for 1.45 hours and I installed and did as he said. Well I tried to change the settings of the config so that the default would be set to mwsc.local because it was scavengecraft.local and I ended up deleting the scavengecraft.local. Once I did that it gave me cannot connect to server storage so I searched it up online via logs I had access to and I ended up recreating the config the databases and reinstalling hMailServer and configuring it. programs and databases are all current when I listed them up there. I cannot login using the administrator username I provided trying a random password gives me the same error so I assume that the IMAP server is not even being contacted however, I'm almost positive that my IMAP server is correctly defined in the configuration so I am lost. When I looked at a ticket the people told them to enable imap_debug so I did and I will provide the /webmail/logs/error.txt in here aswell. If you need anymore information to assist in determining the issue you may do by posting here.

Logs (pretty long I tried everything I could)

I self fixed my problem. However, for those who have this or something similar I will post a reply with my solution.

At the "[db_dsnw]" it was set to "rcuser:password@localhost/email" I checked the permissions and it turned out that rcuser had permission to write data but not to read it so I check boxed it to allow reading and it worked. If this doesn't work I suggest using root.
