syslog:Aug 19 11:36:52 localhost dovecot: imap-login: Login: data [127.0.0.1] syslog:Aug 19 11:36:53 localhost dovecot: IMAP(data): open(/var/mail/.temp.carter.17301.dd6eee3bd2997105) failed: Permission denied syslog:Aug 19 11:36:53 localhost dovecot: IMAP(data): file_lock_dotlock() failed with mbox file /var/mail/data: Permission denied I believe the problem is that the dovecot user is not included in the mail group. Perhaps the config scripts should add the user to the default mail group that Debian ships with, that is, "mail"? -- System Information: Debian Release: testing/unstable APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Kernel: Linux 2.6.12-1-amd64-k8 Locale: LANG=en_US, LC_CTYPE=en_US (charmap=ISO-8859-1) Versions of packages dovecot-imapd depends on: ii dovecot-common 0.99.20050712-2 secure mail server that supports m ii libc6 2.3.5-3 GNU C Library: Shared libraries an ii libssl0.9.7 0.9.7g-1 SSL shared libraries dovecot-imapd recommends no packages. -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
