Getting Dovecot On Ubuntu server & Working With TBird & RoundCube

[Dan Kierson]

I have been having a problem with getting dovecot to work with Thunderbird email client & RoundCube web mail client.

Is there any such thing as a Ubuntu/Linux consultant in the Limerick/Midwest region ?

No idea about consultants, but I have that set-up working on Debian....
feel free to email me off-list and I'll help if I can.

Ray.

Hi Ray & Tina,

Just got the damn thing working via these Linuxbabe procedures for Post-Dovecot mail servers:

Part 1  https://www.linuxbabe.com/mail-server/setup-basic-postfix-mail-sever-ubuntu

Part 2  https://www.linuxbabe.com/mail-server/secure-email-server-ubuntu-postfix-dovecot

Part 3  https://www.linuxbabe.com/mail-server/postfixadmin-ubuntu

I'm after doing Parts I and 2. I'm passing emails via Thunderbird to an OVH mail host on to my VPS "mailserver"

and back down to Thunderbird. Reverse path too.

But this is just for a mail account associated with a given Ubuntu server user account.

Next Part 3 is about setting up virtual mailboxes and that will have plenty for me to fall over.

At least I have the filters working so parts 4 & 5 need only be skimmed.

Thanking you for your support offers which I really appreciate.

DK.
