Wrong again, I have a soft link, not a hard link. It doesn't make a difference
but you could also use:
ln -s /var/mail /var/spool/mail
But there's something wrong here, you said /var/mail does exist, it didn't in my
case. I had /var/spool/mail and created the link as `ln -s /var/spool/mail
/var/mail`, I used the wrong order after looking at your message, but I don't
think it is right.
Better debug at the imapd level, run imapd:
$ /usr/sbin/imapd * PREAUTH [CAPABILITY IMAP4REV1 LITERAL+ IDLE UIDPLUS NAMESPACE CHILDREN MAILBOX-REFERRALS BINARY UNSELECT ESEARCH SCAN SORT THREAD=REFERENCES THREAD=ORDEREDSUBJECT MULTIAPPEND] Pre-authenticated user rberber black IMAP4rev1 2006i.385 at Wed, 15 Aug 2007 19:22:22 -0500 a01 logout * BYE black IMAP4rev1 server terminating connection a01 OK LOGOUT completed
You probably will get the error when the user's mailbox can't be found. If
there's no error then I was wrong and imapd uses /var/spool/mail/<username> not
/var/mail/<username> (of course it could be exim the one using /var/mail/... so
imapd will not see the messages.)
