Did a quick-n-dirty install of 1.1.alpha2 on a Fedora Core 6 server... am
getting the following message in the maillog, though there seems to be no
problem accessing mail.  Error seems to be consistent for all users.
Running 1.0.3 on the system previously.

Aug  8 22:49:26 stage2 dovecot: IMAP(testuser):
mkdir(/var/spool/vmail/192.168.0.199/.imap/testuser) failed: Permission
denied

This is what I'm using for my env in dovecot.conf...
default_mail_env = mbox:/vhome/%l/home/%n/mail:INBOX=/var/spool/vmail/%l/%n

And here's what we have in the user's mail directory (from before)...

/vhome/192.168.0.199/home/testuser/mail/.imap/Deleted Items
/vhome/192.168.0.199/home/testuser/mail/.imap/Deleted Items/dovecot.index
/vhome/192.168.0.199/home/testuser/mail/.imap/Deleted
Items/dovecot.index.cache
/vhome/192.168.0.199/home/testuser/mail/.imap/Deleted
Items/dovecot.index.log
/vhome/192.168.0.199/home/testuser/mail/.imap/INBOX
/vhome/192.168.0.199/home/testuser/mail/.imap/INBOX/dovecot.index
/vhome/192.168.0.199/home/testuser/mail/.imap/INBOX/dovecot.index.cache
/vhome/192.168.0.199/home/testuser/mail/.imap/INBOX/dovecot.index.log
/vhome/192.168.0.199/home/testuser/mail/.imap/INBOX/dovecot.index.log.2
/vhome/192.168.0.199/home/testuser/mail/.imap/sent-mail
/vhome/192.168.0.199/home/testuser/mail/.imap/sent-mail/dovecot.index
/vhome/192.168.0.199/home/testuser/mail/.imap/sent-mail/dovecot.index.cache
/vhome/192.168.0.199/home/testuser/mail/.imap/sent-mail/dovecot.index.log

I'm assuming that it's trying to create a folder for the user's INBOX index,
but it's trying to create it in the mail spool directory rather than in
/vhome/192.168.0.199/home/testuser/mail/.imap/INBOX as previously?

Thoughts, comments, something I need to modify in my config?

Cheers,
