POP3 and IMAP daemons not starting?

Ahoy, my mail server's been running fine for months now, but this morning it wasn't working.
On closer inspection, Server Admin says that POP and IMAP are disabled. In the settings they are definatly enabled.
I tried restarting the server, and I also updated to 10.4.8, but still nothing.
Does anyone know how I can get an error log or something that might tell me why they're not starting?
thanks!

Fixed it.
Apologies for the false alarm. I looked at the logs and config and thought 'This looks messy. I need to look cool in front of these guys, I should clear this up.'
So I restored the default main.cf file and reconfigured my mail server from scratch, and now it's working...
Thanks anyway!

  • POP3 and IMAP Won't Start - Dovecot error 89

    I have been struggling with what should be a simple problem all day: turning the mail server on!
    This is a clean out of the box start. I bought a new Mac Mini with Mountain Lion Server.
    POP3 and IMAP services will not start and Dovecot repeatedly reports the following (no more detail anywhere that I can find):
    Nov  7 16:59:24 artemiscom com.apple.launchd[1] (org.dovecot.dovecotd[1151]): Exited with code: 89
    Nov  7 16:59:24 artemiscom com.apple.launchd[1] (org.dovecot.dovecotd): Throttling respawn: Will start in 10 seconds
    SMTP is running and I can telnet into port 25.
    serveradmin fullstatus mail  gives the following:
    mail:setStateVersion = 1
    mail:readWriteSettingsVersion = 1
    mail:connectionCount = 0
    mail:servicePortsRestrictionInfo = _empty_array

    If I restart the mail server POP3 and IMAP staus goes to STARTING and then to STOPPED.
    I've managed to get Dovecot working on a Centos server but the generally simple configuration on the Mac has me dumbfounded.
    Any help is appreciated whilst I still retain my sanity.
    Thanks

    OK. I managed to solve this problem.
    When the mail server is first initialised SSL certification for dovecot is set to on but the certificates are all commented out in the configuration file.
    To determine this is the problem, turn the mail server off then at the command line start the server by entering the following command:
    /Applications/Server.app/Contents/ServerRoot/usr/bin/doveconf -f service=master -c /Library/Server/Mail/Config/dovecot/dovecot.conf -m master -p -e
    This is the output I received:
    /Applications/Server.app/Contents/ServerRoot/usr/sbin/dovecotd -F
    doveconf: Fatal: Error in configuration file /Library/Server/Mail/Config/dovecot/dovecot.conf: ssl enabled, but ssl_cert not set
    Edit the file /Library/Server/Mail/Config/dovecot/conf.d/10-ssl.conf:
    sudo vi /Library/Server/Mail/Config/dovecot/conf.d/10-ssl.conf
    You can do one of two things:
    1) Edit the line #ssl = yes to:
                                                     ssl = no
    2) Uncomment the ssl_cert, ssl_key and ssl_ca lines
    Now restart the mail server and check the logs for dovecot error 89 (shouldn't be there) and/or at ther command line enter the command:
         sudo serveradmin fullstatus mail
    This will display the mail server status which should be something like this (note pop3 and imap now running):
    mail:setStateVersion = 1
    mail:readWriteSettingsVersion = 1
    mail:connectionCount = 0
    mail:servicePortsRestrictionInfo = _empty_array

  • Lumia 800 - pop3 and imap

    Anybody setup a POP3 account on the phone and find that it works 100% like an IMAP setting? POP3 traditionally does not synchronise backwards, i.e. you download message to phone and leave original on server, delete off phone, it stays on the server. However in their wisdom it seems that not only can you NOT switch easily between a POP3 and IMAP account setting (you need to delete the account and then reinstall it), it also has defaulted that the POP3 setting, is the EXACT same as an IMAP.
    Am I missing something? Granted this is only my 5th smartphone and 50th time I have set the same account up, but yeah must definately be me, as a company like Nokia would of checked their programs before giving it out... right?
    Any assistance, including proving that it is me stuffing it up, would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks in advance,
    LUCH

    Hi LUCHlumia800,
    Thanks for your feedback and welcome to the forum.
    What you describe is not really what is different between POP and IMAP. POP actually does allow for syncing back to the server and remove mail there once deleted on the client. Actually POP can (optionally) be configured to either remove from server when removed on the client or remove from server once fetched. While these options are available implementation is not compulsory.
    IMAP on the other hand basically mirrors the server and client sides so whatever happens on one side also happens on the other including adding or removing folders.
    Hope this helps,
    Kosh

  • Can not update tiger and safari does not start

    Hi everybody,
    I have actually two but probably interrelated problems: First, safari does not start and second, I can not update tiger.
    It all started a few days ago on my MacBook (Intel). Somehow, Safari produced an error (I only guess that it was Safari because I was downloading a movie clip) and Tiger was frozen. After rebooting, the whole system had problems (e.g., Safari and Skype were not starting). I tried to reinstall and archive mac os x but with no success. The problems were growing actually even worse (e.g., slow) and at some point in time, Tiger was not even starting. Thus, I did a full new installation of 10.4.8 (delete and install). Afterwards, it worked first but after the automatic software update, the system told me that their was an input/output error (???) during the 10.4.10 update. Afterwards, the whole system had again problems (slow and problems with even booting)!! Thus, the software update made it even worse. So, I did again a full installation (delete and install).
    I have to update my 10.4.8 system, because I also have iLife08 that needs at least 10.4.9. However, I don't know what to do to avoid again these update problems??
    In addition, despite the full installation, Safari is not starting. Thus, there is still some problems but I have now clue where this comes from as it is newly installed?!
    Any ideas?? Thanks...
    Crobus

    Crobus, welcome, since you are starting from scratch with each re-install why not try Kappy's Extended Hard Drive Preparation.
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=5203987&#5203987
    Do all steps from 1 thru 6, it is by far a more maintenance oriented than an Erase and Install. After the preparation, install OS 10 from your DVD, then download the OS 10.4.10 Combo Updater.

  • MSExchangeSA and IS is not starting automatic at reboot after upgrading the server from SP1 to SP2

    I am running a 2 node DAG with separate Hub & CAS servers
    I have already upgraded the Hub CAS server and they are fine
    Exchange running on Windows 2008 R2 SP1
    All are in VM-Ware ESXi 5.0
    After I upgrade the mailbox server to SP2 the SA and IS service not starting automatic after reboot
    If I run "net time /set" command and then restart ADtopology server, the IS and SA starts fine
    But again after reboot they do not start
    Also I get the below event in the app log when the IS & SA fails to start
    Log Name:      Application

    configured and  is currently online.
    If I check the Registry for time resource it is taking from the DC
    I manually compared the time between DC and Exchange and it is fine
    Since the Exchange mailbox is virtual, I checked the time sync on VM-Ware tools and it is "unchecked"
    Checked for group policy and do not find any specific to time sync.
    Confirmed that Windows Time service is running
    Suspecting a Operating system issue, tried to upgrade the other DAG
    Even that node is displaying the same symptom and Issues
    Tried to install RU1 on both nodes and that too did not fix the issue.
    Checked with VM-Ware engineer and he said that every thing from VM-Ware end is fine
    Is Anyone have come across the issue before ?

    hbereth,,
    It is Ideal to install Creative Cloud app , if you are using Adobe apps.
    Creative Cloud is nothing but an updated version of Adobe Application manager. Adobe Application Manager is required for different purposes like Activation, Update.process and installation processes.etc
    Adobe application manager must be up to date , that brings to Creative Cloud application which is the updated version .
    No need to Sign in and all , just keep it install, if you are not okay with installing Creative Cloud app. it's okay , you can still have Adobe Application Manager only.

  • HT1349 Have gone to sync Itunes and program does not start up. Have uninstalled and reinstalled and still nothing. Very frustrating as it has 6 devices I maintain.

    Have gone to update and sync Iphones and Ipods and Itunes does not start up.

    Both the sccbase.dll and slbcsp.dll failed giving the error "LoadLibrary("xxxxxx.dll") failed. - The specified module could not be found."
    There's our likely culprits. We'd better try swapping them out on the PC.
    (The instructions I'm about to give are quite possibly going to sound odd ... I'll explain what we're doing and why at the end of the post.)
    Navigate to the C:\Windows\System32\ directory. (If you've set a different directory from \Windows\ as your Systemroot, look for \System32\in the alternate Systemroot rather than Windows.)
    Can you see sccbase.dll and slbcsp.dll in there?
    If so, drag each of them to your Desktop.
    Now close the C:\Windows\System32\ window, wait about 5 seconds, and then open navigate to C:\Windows\System32\ again. Have copies of sccbase.dll and slbcsp.dll reappeared in that directory?
    If one or both of the dlls aren't replaced and/or you get an error message from Windows saying you have a system file missing, move the dlls back into \System32\ from your desktop, and post back.
    (What we're doing here is using XP's Windows File Protection system. It maintains a \dllcache where copies of essential dlls are kept on the PC. If it detects that a dll from \System32\ is missing, or has been replaced by an earlier version, and it has a current version of the dll in the dllcache, it will move a copy of the correct version of the dll into \System32\. There's more information about this in the following document from Microsoft: Description of the Windows File Protection feature.)
    If the dlls are replaced, try restarting the PC and then relaunching iTunes again. Does it launch this time?
    If it doesn't launch, try reregistering sccbase.dll and slbscp.dll again. Do they reregister properly, or do you get an error message again?

    If you had been syncing notes on your iPod with iCloud before this happened, go to icloud.com and confirm that your notes are still there.  If they are, you could either email them to yourself one at a time from icloud.com or you could sign into your icloud account on your other iPad in Settings>iCloud and turn Notes to On to sync them to your other iPod.

  • I updated my iphone 4 to ios 6.1.3 and it does  not start now

    i updated my iphone 4 to ios 6.1.3 and it does  not start now

    That message usually means you hacked the phone to unlock it.
    When you updated your IOS it locked back up to the original phone carrier.
    Only the carrier that the phone is locked to is authorized to unlock it.
    Is this the case?

  • Updated to 4.01 and it would not start, removed and loaded 3.6 with no problems ??? running XP SP2

    Have been using ver.3.6 for months and have not had any problems, tried to update to 4.01 and it would not "start", even after re-starting the pc. Removed and reloaded ver.3.6 and no further problems.
    System is a XP SP2 ???
    Are there any issues with ver 4.01 on XP

    No, there are no issues running FF4x on Windows XP. I have that OS installed myself.
