squirrelmail delivers to the wrong directory

[Andre55]

The system is:
centos5.4,
mysql-5.0.77-3.el5
dovecot-1.0.7-7.el5
squirrelmail-1.4.8-5

The problem is that in addition of the inbox, send, and trash folders squirrelmail created a cur, new and tmp directories in the /mail/domain/user directory, and instead of delivering new messages in the inbox it puts them in the new directory making it unavailable to the user.

I have tried just about everything with out success to get this resolved, please help !!!!

SquirrelMail does not deliver emails. It only uses IMAP server to display existing emails and to store new emails created in webmail interface.

Check your dovecot configuration. If you don't use dovecot delivery agent, check configuration of what ever email delivery software you are using.

cur, new and tmp folders are not real email folders. they are part of Maildir directory structure. Some program thinks that /mail/domain/user/ directory is maildir and stores emails in appropriate maildir subdirectory.

squirrel mail does not deliver mail. The cur new and tmp folders are part of the maildir delivery structure. Check you mail delivery agent configuration (dovecot, cyrus, courier etc..) and if you do not want cur/new/tmp switch it mbox delivery. You may want to consider researching the difference between mbox and maildir before switching to mbox.
