View Full Version : [ubuntu] Setting up mail server

I've just about thrown the towel in.

I've followed all the examples on here (and elsewhere) to get Dovecot/Squirrelmail etc... set up, but still it's more trouble that it's worth.

For some reason I now cannot access my inbox without getting the error:

ERROR: Could not complete request.
Query: SELECT "INBOX"
Reason Given: Internal error occurred.

The Trash folder is fine, just not Drafts or Inbox.

Is there a nice, simple mail server program I can use, I've been struggling with this for months and am now unable to get to emails that I really should be attending to.

I don't want to do anything flash, just send and receive emails. I'm resigned to the fact that I will lose the emails that I already have.

Do you only have the problem in Squirrelmail? Or do you have the same problem if you try to attach to Dovecot using a local IMAP client (eg Thuderbird)?
