Thanks for the quick response. I see this in /tmp/dovecot.log, which is what I had log_path set to in dovecot.conf for a while: dovecot: 2006-06-28 23:02:29 Error: IMAP([EMAIL PROTECTED]): utimes() failed with mbox file /var/mail/virtual_mailboxes/athenamontes sori.org/neil/inbox: Operation not permitted but I think that is unrelated, I got the same message the day before in /var/log/mail/mail.warn, when everything was working fine. In /var/log/syslog, I had just this: Jun 28 20:56:56 ml330 dovecot: Killed with signal 15 which corresponds to the old version being killed as the new version was being installed. -- Neil Roeth -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
