Hallo,

ich habe einen Server (Fedora Core 5) und darauf laeuft postfix und dovecot. Ich kann leider meine E-Mails nicht ueber pop3 abholen. das maillog gibt mir folgende Fehermeldung.



Jul 22 22:43:59 localhost dovecot: POP3(user): No INBOX for user top=0/0, retr=0/0, del=0/0, size=0
Jul 22 22:44:34 localhost dovecot: POP3(user): mkdir_parents(/home/user/mail/cur) failed: Not a directory
Jul 22 22:44:34 localhost dovecot: POP3(user): Couldn't open INBOX: Internal error occurred. Refer to server log for more information. [2006-07-22 22:44:34]


Das file wo die e-mails abgespeichert heisst /home/user/mail, irgendwie will er nocht auf cur zugreifen.

Kann mir jemand helfen?

Ich kenne mich mit dovecot nicht aus, aber er kann glaube ich sowohl maildir als auch mbox verarbeiten. Es könnte sein, dass er auch das falsche Format eingestellt ist.
Es gibt sicher eine Konfig, wo Format und Lokation eingestellt werden.
Ggf. poste diese mal für jmd. der sich damit auskennt.

# "[::]" listens in all IPv6 interfaces, but may also listen in all IPv4
# interfaces depending on the operating system.
#
# If you want to specify ports for each service, you will need to configure
# these settings inside the protocol imap/pop3 { ... } section, so you can

# %n - user part in user@domain, same as %u if there's no domain
# %d - domain part in user@domain, empty if there's no domain
# %h - home directory

# If you need to set multiple mailbox locations or want to change default
# namespace settings, you can do it by defining namespace sections:
#
# You can have private, shared and public namespaces. The only difference
# between them is how Dovecot announces them to client via NAMESPACE
# extension. Shared namespaces are meant for user-owned mailboxes which are
# shared to other users, while public namespaces are for more globally
# accessible mailboxes.
#
# REMEMBER: If you add any namespaces, the default namespace must be added
# explicitly, ie. default_mail_env does nothing unless you have a namespace
# without a location setting. Default namespace is simply done by having a
# namespace with empty prefix.
#namespace private {
# Hierarchy separator to use. You should use the same separator for all
# namespaces or some clients get confused. '/' is usually a good one.
#separator = /

# Prefix required to access this namespace. This needs to be different for

#inbox = yes

# If namespace is hidden, it's not advertised to clients via NAMESPACE
# extension or shown in LIST replies. This is mostly useful when converting
# from another server with different namespaces which you want to depricate
# but still keep working. For example you can create hidden namespaces with
# prefixes "~/mail/", "~%u/mail/" and "mail/".

#
# Different IMAP clients work in different ways, so they benefit from
# different cached fields. Some do not benefit from them at all. Caching more
# than necessary generates useless disk I/O, so you don't want to do that
# either.
#
# Dovecot attempts to automatically figure out what client wants and it keeps
# only that. However the first few times a mailbox is opened, Dovecot hasn't
# yet figured out what client needs, so it may not perform optimally. If you
# know what fields the majority of your clients need, it may be useful to set
# these fields by hand. If client doesn't actually use them, Dovecot will
# eventually drop them.
#
# Usually you should just leave this field alone. The potential benefits are

# Also note that if other software reads the mboxes/maildirs, they may handle
# the extra CRs wrong and cause problems.
#mail_save_crlf = no

# Use mmap() instead of read() to read mail files. read() seems to be a bit

# By default LIST command returns all entries in maildir beginning with dot.

# Copy mail to another folders using hard links. This is much faster than
# actually copying the file. This is problematic only if something modifies
# the mail in one folder but doesn't want it modified in the others. I don't
# know any MUA which would modify mail files directly. IMAP protocol also
# requires that the mails don't change, so it would be problematic in any case.

# will need write access to that directory.
# fcntl : Use this if possible. Works with NFS too if lockd is used.
# flock : May not exist in all systems. Doesn't work with NFS.
# lockf : May not exist in all systems. Doesn't work with NFS.
#
# You can use multiple locking methods; if you do the order they're declared
# in is important to avoid deadlocks if other MTAs/MUAs are using multiple
# locking methods as well. Some operating systems don't allow using some of

# When mbox changes unexpectedly we have to fully read it to find out what
# changed. If the mbox is large this can take a long time. Since the change
# is usually just a newly appended mail, it'd be faster to simply read the
# new mails. If this setting is enabled, Dovecot does this but still safely
# fallbacks to re-reading the whole mbox file whenever something in mbox isn't
# how it's expected to be. The only real downside to this setting is that if
# some other MUA changes message flags, Dovecot doesn't notice it immediately.
# Note that a full sync is done with SELECT, EXAMINE, EXPUNGE and CHECK
# commands.
#mbox_dirty_syncs = yes

# Like mbox_dirty_syncs, but don't do full syncs even with SELECT, EXAMINE,

# Password database is used to verify user's password (and nothing more).
# You can have multiple passdbs and userdbs. This is useful if you want to
# allow both system users (/etc/passwd) and virtual users to login without
# duplicating the system users into virtual database.
#
# http://wiki.dovecot.org/Authentication
#
# By adding master=yes setting inside a passdb you make the passdb a list
# of "master users", who can log in as anyone else. Unless you're using PAM,
# you probably still want the destination user to be looked up from passdb
# that it really exists. This can be done by adding pass=yes setting to the
# master passdb.
#
# http://wiki.dovecot.org/MasterPassword

# Users can be temporarily disabled by adding a passdb with deny=yes.
# If the user is found from that database, authentication will fail.
# The deny passdb should always be specified before others, so it gets
# checked first. Here's an example:
#passdb passwd-file {
# File contains a list of usernames, one per line
#args = /etc/dovecot.deny
#deny = yes
#}

# PAM authentication. Preferred nowadays by most systems.
# Note that PAM can only be used to verify if user's password is correct,
# so it can't be used as userdb. If you don't want to use a separate user
# database (passwd usually), you can use static userdb.
# REMEMBER: You'll need /etc/pam.d/dovecot file created for PAM
# authentication to actually work.
passdb pam {
# [session=yes] [cache_key=<key>] [<service name>]
#
# session=yes makes Dovecot open and immediately close PAM session. Some
# PAM plugins need this to work, such as pam_mkhomedir.
#
# cache_key can be used to enable authentication caching for PAM
# (auth_cache_size also needs to be set). It isn't enabled by default
# because PAM modules can do all kinds of checks besides checking password,
# such as checking IP address. Dovecot can't know about these checks
# without some help. cache_key is simply a list of variables (see
# doc/variables.txt) which must match for the cached data to be used.
# Here are some examples:
# %u - Username must match. Probably sufficient for most uses.
# %u%r - Username and remote IP address must match.
# %u%s - Username and service (ie. IMAP, POP3) must match.
#
# If service name is "*", it means the authenticating service name
# is used, eg. pop3 or imap (/etc/pam.d/pop3, /etc/pam.d/imap).

# args = session=yes *
# args = cache_key=%u dovecot

# Default MAIL environment to use when it's not set. By leaving this empty

# default_mail_env = maildir:/var/mail/%1u/%u/Maildir
# default_mail_env = maildir:/var/mail/%u
# default_mail_env = mbox:~/mail
# default_mail_env = mbox:/var/mail/%d/%n/:INDEX=/var/indexes/%d/%n
#

Das passt wohl, aber meines Wissens gibt es bei maildir standardmäßig das Verzeichnis cur, in dem die "current" Mails zwischengelagert werden. Gibt es das bei dir nicht? Falls nein ,keine Ahnung warum nicht.

Vielleicht stimmt was mit der Zustellung nicht (procmail?).

(Nochmals zur Sicherheit: die Mails liegen in /home/user/mail als einzelne Dateien (je Mail) ? )
Funktioniert eigentlich das lokale Konsolen-Programm "mail"?

Ach so, in einer Datei! Dann hast du ein anderes Format, vermutlich mbox.

Dann probiere mal diese Konfigzeile statt deiner vorhandenen:
default_mail_env = mbox:/home/%u/mail
oder besser noch
default_mail_env = mbox:~/mail

Du must deinen Dovecot dann restarten.

Selbe Fehlermeldung? Es müßte sich zumindest an der Meldung was getan haben!

Schon mal im Server-Log nachgeschaut?
"...Couldn't open INBOX: Internal error occurred. Refer to server log for more information..."

Wie gesagt ich kenne mich mit dovecot nicht aus. Aber da gibt es noch das Wiki, zB.
Komisch finde ich zB
- dein User heisst "user"?
- in der Konfig ist die gesamte POP3-section ohne aktive Einträge
- in der Auth section ebenso.
Vielleicht mußt du die Basis anhand einer Anleitung nochmal durcharbeiten!?

Geht es noch kürzer???:ugly: Es ist dein Problem, nicht meines.

Das kann ich kaum glauben! Hast du den Eintrag "maildir...." mit "mbox..." _ersetzt_? Den Server auch wirklich restartet???
Ggf. nochmal posten. WIe auch die letzten Log-Zeilen!

Hast Du auch die anderen Hinweise verfolgt? V.a. bist du das Konfig mal durchgegangen oder hast du einfach das Default Konfig übernommen?? Und den Server Log angesehen???
Und nebenbei warum heisst der User "user"? Wenn du da search & replace machst, dann replace wenigstens mit xxxxx, weil "user" halt in Pfaden auch vorkommt.

Was passiert denn, wenn du default_mail_env mit "#" auskommentierst. dovecot versucht dann nämlich die Einstellungen selbst zu finden.

- in der Konfig ist die gesamte POP3-section ohne aktive Einträge
das ist schon OK. Maßgebend ist


protocols = pop3 pop3s


dovecot baut auf sehr viel Standardeinstellungen auf, wenn die Parameter nicht gesetzt sind (ähnlich samba). Deshalb wäre es günstig, wenn uns der OP die conf mal ohne die Kommentare postet.
