Login to my Linux email setup and fix please :)

Eeeeeeek!!!!! Giving out root passwords!!!!!! I'll have one please;)

Realistically, though, this is designed as a collaberative forum, with solutions being available for all to see. Therefore, I have to help you try and identify where the problem is. Here are some ideas - check and then the experts will be able to gradually home in on the problem:

1.    Check that your web server is running, and that it displays something when trying to access the squirrelmail login. Can you login?

2.    Is courier running? What happens when you use any other IMAP mail client to connect to the courier server.

3.    Have you looked at what is going on with the log files? Depending on your linux version, they could be found in the /var/logs/ directory.

Please provide the experts with the version of linux that you are using plus the versions of Postfix, Courier, Squirrelmail, Apache(or other webserver). If they are the default ones for your distro, then that is normally sufficient.

HTH:)

....plus - please expand on 'not delivering properly'. The better the phrasing and detail in the question, then teh better the answer you'll get:)

i'm confused on how the ideal setup of this...   if the setup was configged properly - the only thing i'd need to do would be to add usernames and what not to the mysql in order to create new accounts and what not right?  i don't need to have a custom perl script create permissions and such?

Some nice howto's for Postfix with Courier-IMAP and MySQL:
