Re: [Dovecot] moving mail from private inbox to public folder kills the latter

I've ran into something rather nasty: if a user moves a mail from its inbox to a public folder, the folder becomes inaccessible for others, because the moved file will have the the permission 600 instead of 777 (or 666) which the rest of the emails have in the folder.

The destination permission is taken from the destination maildir directory. For example:

open(/home/_shared/projects/.Long.Folder/cur/1281535484.M3B5A7P15183Q0.mail_espell_com:2,Sb)

Here if you wanted this mail file to be 0666, /home/_shared/projects/.Long.Folder must be 0777.
