Well, in dovecot.conf I have:

auth = default
auth_methods = plain
auth_userinfo = shadow
auth_user = root

Maildir is in the real users' home (/home/user/Maildir)

Shouldn't it be:

mkdir .INBOX
ln -s cur .INBOX/
ln -s new .INBOX/
ln -s tmp .INBOX/

Anyway, "mkdir .INBOX" succeeds but it is created with
perms 070 and trying to create the links inside it
causes the permission errors.
