unkown or disabled user in webmail

Post by jwells »

I've installed the Standard version, setup the post office and one user. Tested to see if I could login and I get this error. I've read suggested articles, forum posts and checked everything several times but still get the error. I've obviously got something wrong setting it up. Don't know where to go from here.

Hi,

You may need to restart the server so that the MailEnable environment variable paths take affect.

I had to manually put the paths in before and that got it running. I can go to the web login screen and it won't let me log into mail. Using the username, username@postoffice with the proper password it says 'unknown or disabled user'.

Hope this isn't a duplicate reply. They are not showing up in this thread.

I'm able to get to the web login but it won't let me log into the mailbox - says unknown or disable user.

I've done that. Everything seems to work except it won't allow me to log into web mail. It say 'unkown or disabled user'. I've gone thru the articles and forums but can't seem to find what I've got wrong.

Hi,

Do you see any reported errors or warnings within the Windows event log at the time of the login failure? Are you able to authenticate against other MailEnable services like IMAP or POP?

The other services seem to work in my tests. I haven't switched over fully to Mailenable till I see everything else running properly. I'll look at the log.

The Process Information fields indicate which account and process on the system requested the logon.

The authentication information fields provide detailed information about this specific logon request.

- Key length indicates the length of the generated session key. This will be 0 if no session key was requested.

Hi,

Did you configure the post office to authenticate against Windows Active Directory? Try and login to the web mail client locally on the server via http://mewebmail.localhost or http://localhost/mewebmail. If this does not help then we will need to access the server via RDP or Teamviewer to analyse the configuration in more detail. However you will need to lodge a valid support ticket via the support below.

I've went back in and configured that. Tried to log in locally but still getting the same message.

I do have this running on Windows 10 and not Server.

Hi,

Best way forward is to lodge a support ticket via the MailEnable support form below and provide access to the server via RDP or Teamviewer.
