You should uncheck this option, did you?

Could you please show us some addition info to help troubleshoot:

1) Show us output of below SQL commands (NOTE: Remove password in its output before pasting):

mysql> USE vmail;
mysql> SELECT * FROM mailbox WHERE username='[your_user_email]' LIMIT 1;

2) Paste file content: /usr/local/etc/dovecot/dovecot-mysql.conf. WARNING: Remove password in this file before pasting. Please paste file content instead of attaching it in your post.

Re: Suspend receiving e-mail

Yes, the services option "Receiving mails for this account on mail server" in user profile is unchecked.

Here the SQL commands result:

Re: Suspend receiving e-mail

*) Does it work if you set 'mailbox.enablelda=0' for this user manually with MySQL command line tool?
*) May i know which version of Dovecot are you running?

Re: Suspend receiving e-mail

Thanks for you prompt reply Zhang.

I tested for different options and settings, the result is no matter what I set the "Receiving mails for this account on mail server", the MySQL table field mailbox.enablelda didn't change value. If I manually change the table mailbox.enablelda=0, then it works as expected.

The dovecot version that I am running is dovecot-2.1.12

Thanks for your time and help.

Re: Suspend receiving e-mail

Thanks for the response Zhang. I tried the patch but it doesn't work. Change the status of "Receiving mails for this account on mail server" didn't save to database.

Re: Suspend receiving e-mail

Did you restart Apache web server after patching?

Re: Suspend receiving e-mail

Thankyou Zhang. You're right, Apache needs to be restarted to take effective. It works !
Thanks again for your great help and prompt reply Zhang.
