After seeing the file "imapd.log" I see this two entries: Apr 16 09:32:48 srv-du-orapre lmtpd[355910]: DBERROR dup: lock_put: Lock is no longer valid Apr 16 09:32:48 srv-du-orapre lmtpd[355910]: duplicate_check: opening /sebas/imap/deliverdb/deliver-r.db: Permission denied Any help much appreciated!
