Cornel,

I'm pretty sure that Courier won't deliver mail to the root user, perhaps it won't let root pick up any mail either (which makes a lot of sense).

Yes, root has too many privileges for it to be safe for courier to mess around as the root user. And the root user is often special in other ways too...

Have you tried picking up mail as a regular user?

Hi,

I'm trieing for the first time to get a qmail+vpopmail+courier-imap up and running but I think I miss something because. Everithing is just fine until I trie to get my IMAP email ! I can't authenticate myself ! Then I found this in the logs:

May 20 13:04:50 q imapd: LOGIN FAILED, ip=[127.0.0.1] May 20 13:04:59 q imapd: could not connect to mysql update server Access denied for user: 'root@localhost' (Using password: YES) with database May 20 13:04:59 q imapd: could not connect to mysql update server Access denied for user: 'root@localhost' (Using password: YES)

I am using authvvchkpw for authentication method, I created virtual domains ant users with vadddomain and vadduser and the users can receiv mail.
