I ain't able to get emails into my email application (thunderbird).

I use 143 Imap to connect which i have tested with telnet and was able to login. But if i select the inbox with telnet it returns "0 EXISTS"

like so:

telnet 192.168.1.13 143
Trying 192.168.1.13...
Connected to sub.domain.net.
Escape character is '^]'.

    Can you see mail in the mailbox on the server? Are there any errors in `/var/log/maillog`? – Simon Greenwood Dec 13 '17 at 13:58
  • Yes, I am using webmin to view email on the server and there are heaps of mails. Maillog only returns: dovecot: imap-login: Login: user=, method=PLAIN, rip=192.168.1.138, lip=192.168.1.13, mpid=29821, TLS, session=<9eUSfjlgmgDAqAGK> – joland Dec 13 '17 at 14:22
  • Is it a virtual user or unix system user and if it's a virtual user do you have entries in `/etc/postfix/virtual`? – Simon Greenwood Dec 13 '17 at 15:26
  • Could you include **all** log entries generated during email delivery to the mailbox? [sendmail & dovecot] – AnFi Dec 13 '17 at 15:34
  • It's a unix system user with a home directory: /var/spool/mail I've added a mail.log here: [link]https://gist.github.com/anonymous/91a0b378865997190512920114613ab6 Just in case did i send an email to that specific email address – joland Dec 13 '17 at 15:55
