[Dovecot] file system permissions

[Anil]

Jim,
Maybe 1.1 doesn't have this option?

Jan 13 19:17:15 vds5 dovecot: [ID 107833 mail.error] auth(default):
Error in configuration file /usr/local/dovecot/etc/dovecot-ldap.conf
line 26: Unknown setting: user_global_uid

It might be that those were replaced with mail_uid and mail_gid in 1.1?
Which version are you using?

Can you send me your entire configuration?
This is really getting annoying. :)

Thanks.
