Title: IMAP Problems in 6.0.1
Post by: fireballer44 on October 30, 2006, 06:44:38 PM

I am still running 6.0.1 on this server.  I am working on upgrading to 7.0 and migrating to a new server, but unfortunately I cannot take things down and move for at least a month.  (They also do not like change, i.e. the new webmail interface looks a bit different).

But I need to fix this now.  Something is wrong with my IMAP.  In the webmail whenever I try to view the most recent message in a specific account I get "Error Viewing the Requested Message"

When I open the same account in any IMAP client I get similar messages (specific to the mail program).  It it pretty much isolated to the account but I think I am having IMAP issues on 1 or 2 others.

What can I do?  I am completely stuck here.

Have you been copying or moving messages/users folders around ?
If so you may have inadvertantly changed permissions.

cd /home/e-smith/files/users/username
ls -al
chown -R username:username Maildir

replace username with the actual user name

Ok, I have pretty much ruled out the IMAP problem.  I installed Thunderbird and tried it out with the accounts, they are both fine.  Now my big problem is with Imp, where it gives the "error viewing the requested message"

It only gives this error on the most recent message (so, if I send a message to the account I can't read it but I can now read the one that was the recent one before mine)
