Howdy,

Do you see any errors in the email log, /var/log/mail.log? It generally lists the full details of whatever the issue is.

i think this is the error, permission deniend, and how can i fix it?
thenk inside dovecot.conf this is the mail_location configuration:
mail_location = maildir:~/Maildir:INDEX=/var/lib/dovecot/index/%u:CONTROL=/var/lib/dovecot/control/%u

Here attached the mail.log:
May 7 15:23:18 stock dovecot: pop3-login: Login: user=<info.mytalke>, method=PLAIN, rip=87.12.246.254, lip=94.23.46.169

Okay, try running this command:

[code:1]
chmod 777 /var/lib/dovecot /var/lib/dovecot/control /var/lib/dovecot/index
[/code:1]

And then try restarting Dovecot (/etc/init.d/dovecot restart), and see if that does the trick for you.

I think we're correcting this in Virtualmin 3.69 by moving those files out to /var/lib/virtualmin-dovecot. This proved to be an issue on recent CentOS Dovecot packages, as well.

The best thing you could do, I think, is to try sending an email, and if it doesn't work, take a look in the email log -- /var/log/mail.log.

It appears that we solved the issue with Dovecot, so if you happen to get any errors in sending emails, it's an unrelated issue :-)
