Hello,
we have problems to access our users mailboxes with SquirrelMail. The log file /var/log/mail.log says permission denied, only one user is allowed to read his mail with SquirrelMail. We are running Debian Sarge, Mailserver is Postfix, imap server is dovecot. Our Mailboxes are stored in the mbox format. Folder of the mbox files is /var/mail/ the users are unix system accounts. Normally we read are mail with the POP-Client Outlook, this works well. But we also want to be able to read our mail (each user his own mails) via SquirrelMail /var/log/mail.log says: Mar 13 10:54:40 webserver dovecot: imap(unix-system-account): mkdir_parents(/var/mail/.imap/INBOX) failed: Permission denied
In the folder where the mbox files are stored exists 3 folders called INBOX.drafts INBOX.sent INBOX.trash These folders are owned by the user who is able to read his mail via SquirrelMail and owned by the group mail. Only the user has read and write permissions. Does each user need to have his own INBOX Files? Could you please help me
Kind regards, Roland
