Jul 5 09:25:49 imap dovecot: IMAP(uid): open() failed with mbox file /var/spool/mail/uid: Permission denied Sounds like your userdb is returning wrong uid. Set mail_debug=yes to see what Dovecot is really using.

Excellent! After looking at the uids, I found that my test user had both an entry in our ldap database and the local /etc/passwd file. Removing the spurious /etc/passwd entry (and fixing the local file ownerships) gets rid of the permission problems.

				Thanks for your help.
