One of the things that happens on login that wouldn't with vuserinfo would be an insertion or update to the vlog table or lastauth table. If you want, contact me off list and we can discuss the possibility of me logging in to your system and checking things out. I may take you up on that offer if I can't figure this out.

If vuserinfo is working, then your database hooks in vpopmail are all ok. How about doing a make clean and make and make install again? Then restart qmail. I have been doing make clean every time I recompile. How about if you telnet to the server on port 110 and try to auth by hand? You sure it's not a Thunderbird issue? Tried it and it failed just after I entered the password for the account. I had some issues at one point and I ended up deleting everything in ~vpopmail/etc ~vpopmail/include ~vpopmail/bin and ~vpopmail/lib then rebuilt vpopmail and rebuilt authdaemon. Then it all worked. I tried deleting everything out of those directories and then rebuilding vpopmail and it still failed....

Yes, the user does have permissions. How about running the commandline utilities? /home/vpopmail/bin/vuserinfo <email addy> I was able to get userinfo on an email address.

All of user info was imported from a mysql db using phpmyadmin and imported using phppgadmin. Would it make a difference if I used vconvert instead?

Now, however, I need to switch from MySQL to PostgreSQL as the backend for the whole thing. The problem I am having is that when I recompile vpopmail to use PostgreSQL and then procede to check my email I get an error telling me that authorazation failed. As far as I can tell I have provided the correct username and database for vpopmail in the vpgsql.h file. And I have imported into postgres the database from mysql. The other odd thing is that vqadmin and qmailadmin still seem to be using the mysql database after recompiling vpopmail for use with postgres. I am using vpopmail v5.4.10, postgres v8.0.1, and Fedora Core 3. Any ideas on the subject would be helpful. I tried to google for this but nothing came up. Joshua Coucke
