Here are some examples... from what I can tell in google, dovecot is failing trying to change these files to the mail group dovecot is running under? I've manually changed everything under these folders to be 777, as well as root.mail permissions, they just change back to being owned by the user, and then dovecot can't change them to mail... at least I think that's what's happening.
dovecot: IMAP(admin): fchown(/home/admin/Mail/public/public/.SpamReport/dovecot-uidlist) failed: Operation not permitted dovecot: IMAP(bob): fchown(/home/bob/Mail/public/public/.SpamReport/dovecot-uidlist) failed: Operation not permitted dovecot: IMAP(bob): fchown() failed with file /home/bob/Mail/public/index/.SpamReport/dovecot.index.tmp: Operation not permitted dovecot: IMAP(mike): fchown() failed with file /home/mike/Mail/public/index/.Contacts/dovecot.index.log: Operation not permitted

I was hoping this would be the right place to look for some help, I cannot make public folders get the right permissions. I continually get the fchown error in logs, and have googled high an low to find multiple solutions that do not work for me.
What exactly is the fchown error message?
