POP3/Webmail Problems on my VPS
| Posted by Drifter13, 07-08-2007, 03:49 PM |
| I just purchased an almost bare VPS and installed Cpanel myself. Problem is the mail is not working right. I connect, try and login and repeatedly get Login Failed. I've tried re-creating the emails accounts, i've tried the default mail account that gets created, and i've tried logging into the webmail with the same login problems. I've also telneted to my server from my pc fine, but once again the login just fails. This made me look towards there being a server misconfiguration... because these are newly created mail accounts with correctly entered details. In WHM, i tried restarting the POP3 service and the output doesn't look usual..
Attempting to restart cppop
Waiting for cppop to restart.... . . . . . . . . . . finished.
cppop status couriertcpd is disabled
Service: [cppop] has been disabled by the sys admin
Not sure if it's related or how to fix it... could really use the help since all my mail will probably get dropped after DNS propogation goes thru =/

| Enable IMAP in WHM-Service Configuration-Service manager and then restart pop service.

| Worked oO. Silly of me to think disabling IMAP would not interfere with POP... I redisabled after and magically it's fixed.

| Well it WAS working... err this is frustrating. I now have IMAP enabled and horde and have rebooted the server, but still can't login through webmail or POP.

| How long ago did you reboot it? The occasional service can take a few extra minutes to start.
Did you also check the monitor box next to the box to enable IMAP?

| Monitoring imap and pop3 now. It also seems now that creating a mail account is taking indefinitely long.. like its stalled. I've tried this with 2 different cpanel accounts.

| I'm now able to login to the default created cpanel email account . I don't know how the other one got DELETED.. it's just gone. Probably why I couldn't login before. Creation of new email accounts is still taking forever though and never completing.. everything else seems to function normally.
EDIT: One finally completed, taking nearly 5 minutes... But upon a refresh of the mail account list for that cpanel account, it was NOT created..

| Strange.
What version of cPanel are you running?

| The latest. 11.6.0-RELEASE 15032. Seemed fine before, now I can't even create mail accounts. Seems like a tradeoff... at least now i can read my mail. Maybe it will fix itself.
