I got a RAQ550 using openwebmail.

The funny thing is that all emails sent to users go to the OpenWebMail Saved folder.

There's a link from the user's mbox to the saved folder or file.

Is this part of openwebmail and if so how do I turn it off? :confused:

I want the incoming mail to go to the inbox instead of the Saved box?? :mad:


Thankx in advance. :bawling:

Openwebmail uses /var/spool/username as the INBOX folder and
~username/mail/saved-messages as the Saved folder.

Please check if the two above two files are either symbolic or hard lined together on your system.

Openwebmail uses /var/spool/mail but the RAQ550 uses ~username/mbox as the mail file.

OpenWebmail:
1. Creates the /var/spool/mail/username
2. Creates file ~username/mail/saved-messages
3. Makes ~username/mbox a symbolic link to ~username/mail/saved-messages
4. New mail goes to the mbox which is the saved-message
-- Users click on INBOX and no new message
-- Users click on Saved then they get the new message


ls -al:
drwx--S--- 2 sadmin site2 4096 Nov 5 15:02 mail
lrwx------ 1 sadmin site2 60 Oct 31 15:31 mbox -> /home/.sites/143/site2/.users/112/sadmin/mail/saved-messages

ls -all /var/spool/mail:
-rw------- 1 installe mail 0 Nov 5 14:53 installer
-rw------- 1 sadmin mail 0 Oct 31 15:17 sadmin


Anyone got a clue why this is happening and how I can stop??
