Re: IMAP server connection error on Roundcube

The permissions on vmail folder are ok: vmail:vmail
....but there is something I don't really understand:
a) Is normal to have an vmail1 inside vmail?
b) And inside vmail1 is nothing, absolutely empty...so I don't know why dovecot try to read something like this: /var/vmail/vmail1/lastmethod.com/a/r/k/ark-2013.10.07.11.36.03//

Yes, "vmail1" in maildir path is added by iRedMail.

This is maildir path of this user, it's stored in LDAP.

iRedMail creates system user "vmail" which has uid=2000 and gid=2000, but your log shows user "vmail" has uid=5000 and gid=5000.
Did you change it to uid/gid=5000?

No...I didn't change anything...but I can try to do it smile
Anyway, I'm having problems with the server since yesterday. I dont know why (yet), but it can be the hardware or something else....I'm not sure if the iRedMail installation went perfect, so until the server stop going nuts I will let it be like this smile
When everything come back normal again, I will reply with more info.
