E-Mail login not possible

Netscape

New Pleskian
Hi,

got a CentOS 6.4 Server with plesk 11.0.9 and latest updates. I copied a domain with E-Mails from a Plesk 9.3 server to this one with rsync. I can´t access the mails with POP3/IMAP Client or the webmailer.

I got this error in /usr/local/psa/var/log/maillog:
Code:
pop3d-ssl: IMAP connect from @ "/var/qmail/mailnames/xxxx/xxxxx": Permission denied

The owner of this files is "popuser"

Any ideas?
 
Are you sure all files are owned by popuser: popuser ?
Code:
chown -R popuser:popuser /var/qmail/mailnames/xxxx/*


and maybe a service restart
service courier-imap reload
 
The file permission are owned by popuser popuser.

I got the same problem with a newly created account on that domain with an empty mailbox (no backups restored). The login to this Mailbox also does not work.

Imap daemon also restared.

I created an e-mail account on another domain on same server which has no e-mail services enabled yet. There the login works.
 
Okay,

this is really mortifying. Problem was the folder permission of /var/qmail/mailnames/DOMAIN.TLD

DOMAIN.TLD did not owned by popuser. So the problem is solved.
