I'm trying to setup postfix / dovecot on my debian server to use it for a mail server.
I set everything up according to a tutorial on the net, and it all seemed OK.
I can send emails from it, so SMTP is not a problem, however I cannot receive emails.
Looking into the files in /home/nick/mail/ I can see that if I send an email to myself (from the server, to itself) the emails are there, but are put straight into the Deleted Messages folder. I don't know why this is.
When I send an email from another mail account (not on this server), the emails are nowhere to be found.
Also, looking at the log file /var/log/mail.log all seems to be OK, I get the following when I receive an email, which looks OK to me:
Nov 7 22:47:22 nickduffell postfix/local[17825]: 05B1173581A6: to=, relay=local, delay=0.37, delays=0.31/0.02/0/0.03, dsn=2.0.0, status=sent (delivered to mailbox)
Any ideas?
Thanks
EDIT: I should also add that although the emails I send myself are in the Deleted Messages folder, and in my mail client I can see that "Trash" has 3 items, I cannot download them in my mail client...
