Hello!
My passwd file looks like this:
info at nimmini.de:{CRAM-MD5}e33cbd144b372a9c919228923464c806b57e35df2d6d1484ceaabe7e3530cd58:5000:5000::/var/spool/vhosts/nimmini.de/info::userdb_mail=maildir:~/
When I login for the first time, I see this in the log:
Aug 29 09:52:57 imap(info at nimmini.de): Error: mkdir_parents(/var/lib/dovecot/db) failed: Permission denied
Aug 29 09:52:57 imap(info at nimmini.de): Error: acl: dict commit failed
Although the mailbox "info" is created with this content:
drwx------ 2 5000 5000 4096 29. Aug 09:52 cur

drwx------ 5 5000 5000 4096 29. Aug 09:52 .Trash
/var/lib looks like this:
...
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 29. Aug 00:28 dovecot
...
Should the folder dovecot be owned by the user dovecot?
What causes the error above?
Greetings
Andreas
