Yesterday I was forced to migrate servers due to a hardware failure. I have been able to bring up my mail server, and set up Squirrelmail and Dovecot. I am able to access (via Squirrelmail) all users' mail except one - which happens to be my wife's, so it would be really helpful if I could get that working too. I am able to log in, but see the following message in the main pane:
ERROR: Could not complete request. Query: SELECT "INBOX" Reason Given: [NOPERM] Permission denied
I have see similar errors in my searches, but they all relate to *creating* files (inbox, sent, etc). The files do already exist here, they used to work in the same directory structure on the old server configuration, and I can see no relative difference between this user's files/permissions and working users' files/permissions.
Suggestions are welcome; thanks in advance, -Don
Here are the vitals:
