Summary: #1854 - felamimail error when delete a user and recreate the same one  
I’ve encountered the error described in subject because i had to delete some users from egroupware and recreate them. When i recreate them, they couldn’t visualize their maildir yet.  
instead of their mail home was displayed this error

Fatal error: Call to a member function getIncomingServer() on a non-object in /var/www/egroupware/felamimail/inc/class.bofelamimail.inc.php on line 67

i try to look better on that line and it seems like a reference to some preferences that seem to be lost

$this-\>icServer = $this-\>mailPreferences-\>getIncomingServer(0);

any suggestion? anyone encountered the same error?

Hi,

i’ve read on a forum of a disperate man like me (i’ll try to find again the web address and post it there) that with a simply parameter change everything gonna works fine like before…

by going on modify configuration, in setup panel you’ve to change

Authentication / Accounts\*  
Select which type of authentication you are using\*:

from

SQL

to

mail

and everything goes good. The readed post said something like “…i ignore why it happens, but felamimail works fine after this change…”

i try to search on browser history to find again that forum post.

Can u explain us better why the system does this trick?

thx in advance and again my compliments for the great, unbelievable work!

Any news, more questions?  
I put that on pending.

If you delete a user, its preferences, and settings will get deleted too.  
This is the fact for personal mail accounts as well.
