... this is not a good thing. Courier should show up in maillog as imapd. SM = courier = imapd for all intents and purposes, unless you set up a specific log file for debugging purposes. > Beyond that I have included the text from my >first email below.

A file somewhere has the wrong permissions, or so it sounds like. Is everything in the SM tree owned by $user:apache or apache:apache 0644? Check the passwd and group files anally... what happens if you userdel $user and then adduser? From the entire problem this sounds like a system user problem. Set syslogd.conf to debugging, making an entry like so: *.* everything then tail -f everything and do another login attempt to SM. Show us the output of that exercise. >This shows up in both the left and right windows. Even though I get this >messages it still properly lists how many new messages are in my main >inbox.
