The issue still exists. Can anybody explain to me why dovecot creates IMAP folders with the wrong filesystem permissions? On a lark, I looked through my dirs @ permissions. Shorted lines a bit so they'd fit w/o extra lines between them using: (get rid of text before permissions, and shorten user/group to a few letter) find . -type d -ls|sed -r 's/^\s*\S+\s+\S+\s+// ; s/linda(group)?/usr/g'
I repeat something from a similar thread from last year...
It would be nice if Dovecot had something like Postfix's set-permissions command to automatically fix permissions issues.
Dovecot may be a little more complicated and have more possible ways things could be configured, but the possibilities are finite (aren't they?) so this could be handled by defining the different possibilities and having a conf option you can set to tell dovecot what scheme you are using (or if possible, some way to auto-detect it and fall back to spitting out an error asking you to define it manually if it can't).
