it seems to work now

Code

chown daemon.daemon /etc/courier/shared
touch /etc/courier/shared/index
chmod 0755 /etc/courier/shared
service courier-authdaemon restart
service courier-imap restart
service courier-pop restart
service courier-imap-ssl restart
service courier-pop-ssl restart

Well, that is not really an i-MSCP issue. In fact, Ondřej Surý has changed the historical user/group from daemon to courier.. The problem is that i-MSCP assume the daemon user in init script and some other place, not the courier user. I must have a deeper look into those changes to update our courier server implementation.

Code

courier (0.76.1-3) unstable; urgency=medium
* Add critical debconf notes about courier:courier change and
courier-maildrop -> maildrop change (Closes: #822071)

This should be fixed in the hotfixes branch. The fixes will be available in i-MSCP version 1.6.0. As you will see, there was a lot of works needed...
