Squirrelmail problem :-  Error: could not complete request. Query "Select Inbox". Reason Given. Unable to open this mailbox.

Hi all

I was trying to configure squirrelmail in my machine. The postfix, courier imap are all running fine. I tested them individually (telnet localhost 25 and telnet localhost 143). I want to view the mails using squirrelmail.
I ran the conf.pl script and configured the application. I ran configtest.php script and it said everything is fine.

Now when i login to the mail using squirrelmail, it gives me two error.

Left menu gives me :- Error: cannot dropped by imap server. Query Subscribe "Inbox.Sent"

In the main window, it gives me the following error:- Error: could not complete request. Query "Select Inbox". Reason Given. Unable to open this mailbox.

The apache http.conf file has this entry

User nobody
Group # -1

I tried : chown -R nobody.nobody mail

but then also it didnt work..

the data folder of squirrelmail is put in the /usr/local/apache/sqmdata folder and its chown is also nobody.nobody.


i doubt the postfix is able to deliver the mails to the /home/user/Maildir/new folder, but courier is not able to read it
