Hi again Charles,

I don't have a non-working setup of dovecot

Oh, I see. It's like what I ask questions about issues and 
get answers on other issues...

All users run with the virtual mail account (vmail)
accounts (if I recall correctly) are stored in %maildir format.
Do you want me to display user perms ? OK ! Fine.
Here's the contents of the folder with the problem :

[root at mailserver mailaccount]# ls -l
total 8
drwx------ 6 vmail vmail 4096 Apr  2 17:08 Maildir
-rw-rw-rw- 1 vmail vmail  141 Mar 30 17:21 user.tab


Is this what you need ? 
I didn't answer this not because I don't want to but
because I don't know if this is what you want.
There's no need to shout.
