Hi,

Thanks for your bug report.

/usr/bin/davmail is a jar file that gets executable using jarwrapper.

> /etc/init.d/davmail start
> dows not give any information. (and does not start the server).

Please provide the output of the lat lines of:
$ sudo bash -ex /etc/init.d/davmail start

It should end with:
start-stop-daemon: user '_davmail' not found
+ return 2

This is normal as the _davmail user only gets created if you're not
using systemd. If you're using systemd, the _davmail user is created
dynamically by systemd, but you should use systemd to start davmail:
$ sudo systemctl start davmail

You can check that davmail is running using:
$ systemctl status davmail

You can enable davmail on boot using:
$ systemctl enable davmail

Thanks,

Alex
