Hello again,
Permissions seems to be ok; all mboxes has 660 with group 'mail'.
-rw-rw---- 1 tbarreno mail 1337814 ene 17 06:10 tbarreno
However, the dovecot service was changed last October in Debian distro:
- Dovecot uses two system users for internal purposes now by default: "dovenull" and "dovecot". "dovenull" user is used by completely untrustworthy processes, while "dovecot" user is used for slightly more trusted processes.
The "dovecot" user isn't included in the 'mail' group; I've tryed but it doesn't work.
I'll take a look at the Postfix configuration just to see if it's locking the files.
Many thanks again.
Best wishes, Tinguaro Barreno

Hello all,
I've running a Dovecot's installation for several years without problems but since last system upgrade (Dec 26) I'm facing a kind of sync issue with the /var/mail/ inbox files.
We have got mobile and desktops IMAP clients (mostly Mozilla Thunderbird). The problem is that /var/mail/ files (mbox) aren't updated: we can delete mail from clients but they persist in de /var/mail, so the same user can see the mail again from other IMAP client.
Logs seems to be correct.
Sounds like Dovecot thinks the INBOX is read-only. What are the filesystem permissions in the files?
