I cant figure out permissions with Dovecot. I am new with this program and have tried setting the mail group to "mail" which is the group of my mailboxes which are located in /var/spool/mail.
Here's the error I get.
fs1 dovecot: imap(tl511insight): Error: chown(/home/tl511insight/mail/.imap/INBOX, -1, 12(mail)) failed: Operation not permitted (egid=504(tl511insight), group based on /var/mail/tl511insight) Apr 7 07:44:51 fs1 dovecot: imap(tl511insight): Error: mkdir(/home/tl511insight/mail/.imap/INBOX) failed: Operation not permitted Apr 7 07:44:51 fs1 dovecot: imap(tim): Error: chown(/home/tim/mail/.imap/INBOX, -1, 97(dovecot)) failed: Operation not permitted (egid=500(tim), group based on /var/mail/tim) Apr 7 07:44:51 fs1 dovecot: imap(tim): Error: mkdir(/home/tim/mail/.imap/INBOX) failed: Operation not permitted
How do I give permissions to dovecot program to create these? I am trying not to chmod 777 every mailbox.
