To resolve such an issue:

Edit the file /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf and add the following line in the IMAP section:

protocol imap {

mail_location = mbox:~/mail:INBOX=/var/mail/%u

}

Restart dovecot:

/etc/init.d/dovecot restart

That’s it.

For Centos 6.6 and Centos 7 nano /etc/postfix/main.cf

change parameter to :

home_mailbox = mail/

nano /etc/dovecot/conf.d/10-mail.conf

set parameter to: mail_location = maildir:~/mail

sudo service postfix restart sudo service dovecot restart

Did you tried telnet to the server to port 143

try "telnet hostname _or_IP 143"

Make sure that the entered E-mail account mailbox is exists in the server. Also make sure that the its MX is local domain if the domain points to the server in which you have installed squirrel mail. In case if its using remote MX then you need to use a domain that is having MX on the current server.

dig +trace domain_name MX will show you the domain's MX record.

mailbox needs to exist, e.g. do it like this:
-first install mailx
-then issue following command (replace 'mail@example.org' with the email-address you use to log in to squirrelmail)

# mailx mail@example.org

-then type subject of your choice and hit enter
-then type text of your choice and hit enter
-finally hit ctrl+d

now it should be possible to log in
