Yes Timo, the index files were in the wrong place. I have corrected
default_mail_env and all works fine now.
Thanks for your help,
James.

For some reason i can't change the permissions on /var/spool/postfix/ dovecot.index.log from postfix to dovecot, or anything else.
I changed all the files in /var/spool/postfix to be owner postfix so that postfix wouldn't complain about insufficient priviledges.
I'm running MacOS X 10.4.7.
I can change it all I want, but the owner and group changes do not 'stick' - they simply stay at postfix.
Does anyone have any ideas?
Can I have the index and index.log files elsewhere?
The index files really shouldn't be there at all.
What have you set in default_mail_env? Or are you trying to read mails as postfix user or something?
