find as we have millions and millions of folders. In theory it could even be an NFS server bug, although we havent seen this in the mailspool directories.
Do you see any errors related to this in log files? Do you see maildirfolder file inside that directory? If it really is created without +x, then Dovecot should fail the maildirfolder file creation and log it.
Yes, I do see errors, thats how I find them. Permission denied errors.
But what about the maildirfolder file? Does it exist? If not, do you
see an error in logs:open(.../maildirfolder, O_CREAT) failed: Permission denied
I dont see any logged errors with O_CREAT. Only these:
dovecot-uidlist) failed: Permission denied
The created directories are empty:
userimap1# cd /var/spool/mail/dovecot-control/r/ro/rossXXX/INBOX/.Sport.NKR userimap1# ls -al total 8 drw------- 2 rossXXX user 4096 Jul 2 18:35 . drwx------ 33 rossXXX user 4096 Jul 31 07:39 ..
