Topic: Error: "Failed to autocreate mailbox"

- iRedMail version 0.9.4
- Download install
- Ubuntu 14.04
- LDAP (Windows Active Directory)
- Nginx
- No managed with iRedAdmin pro

I created a master user in the dovecot-master-users file. It has the key in {SSHA512} and the non-existent_user@domain

When I try to connect, in the log, it says to have validated the master user to connect to another account.  But when I try to examine the contents of an IMAP folder, I get the following error

"Failed to autocreate mailbox - Permission denied"

Does anyone know what this is about?

Greetings,

Please turn on debug mode in Dovecot and check detailed debug log. I guess the master user didn't work actually.

FYI: https://docs.iredmail.org/debug.dovecot.html

I can connect by telnet to port 143. In the log when I activate the verbose I can see the authentication through the master user. Even when I run the lists command, it shows me something, but it doesn't seem to be the maildir of the user's box.  Then when I try to run the command examine over a folder, I get the error.

What's the related log in /var/log/dovecot/dovecot.log or imap.log?
