All files and directories in /var/mail/* are in the mail group. I tried adding dovecot to that group, but that didn't help.
Since everyone can log on to Dovecot, but can't access their mail unless I own their files, I'm assuming that there's some simple ownership setting that I'm overlooking. But I haven't a clue what it is. Can someone tell me what I need to change?
What userdb are you using? Dovecot gets the uid/gid for users from there. Whatever you do, don't use the "dovecot" user's uid there :) Rather create a new one. Hm. Maybe I should rename it to dovecot-login to make it more clear what it's supposed to used for..
- The Macs have Eudora 4.2 installed, and the Win boxes have Eudora 5.1. The Macs can delete mail, put it in the trash, and empty the trash. The Win clients can mark mail deleted, but they can't remove it. The mail stays in the IMAP folder until the same user accesses their mail from a Mac and deletes it. If a user drags a message to another folder, a copy is created in the new folder but the old copy remains in the original folder. I'm not having this problem with Mutt, so it the problem seems to be specific to the Windows verson of Eudora. Is there a fix?
Are there error messages in log file? /var/log/maillog probably. I can't think of any reason why it does that..
