| That error message means the pop server cannot open the maildir
directory for
| the given user. This can happen for 2 reasons.
| 1. the path to maildirs is wrong
| 2. the maildir has not been created yet.
|
| If its #1, recheck the courier configuration to see if the path for the
| maildirs is correctly given. Basically, the path where Postfix saves the
| mails should be the same for the Courier to go and open up the mails.
|
| if its #2, Simply send an email to the given user before checking his
mail.
| Courier does not create the maildir folders automatically so if this is a
| brand new user, forst send the user a test mail so that the maildor
folders
| will be created and then check email from thunderbird.

ahh , thanks, ill check this tomorrow, been one long day at work today.
~ Im able to send mail to a user on the server, from say yahoo or google
webmail and I can open the message in /var/mail/username. I havent been
able to figure out how to get thunderbird to get to download that mail!!
~ Ill check the courier config, im sure its there.
