I have a problem with Dovecot 1.1.6 after having reset the UID/GID information for a few email accounts. I get the following error:
Dec 5 12:26:03 ns6 dovecot: POP3(mike): stat(/home/popuser_mike/Maildir/tmp) failed: Permission denied (euid=1366 egid=1366 missing +x perm: /home/popuser_mike/Maildir) Dec 5 12:26:03 ns6 dovecot: POP3(mike): Couldn't open INBOX: Internal error occurred. Refer to server log for more information.
