Re: Inexplicable missing permissions issue

Thanks for taking a look.

this is owned by root, and it's complaining about /var/logmail/**mbox**/ncrosby and dovecot cannot create this because mbox is only writable by root

That's definitely not the issue. As I explained, I've played with permissions through the entire /var/logmail tree (including the /var/logmail/mbox directory).

Another configuration in which the exact same message occurs (including the exact same statement about being owned by 0:0):

/var/logmail
|-- [drwx------ root     root    ]  lost+found
|-- [drwxrwxr-x root     mail    ]  mbox
|   `-- [drwxr-xr-x ncrosby  ncrosby ]  ncrosby
`-- [drwxrwxr-x root     mail    ]  spool
    |-- [-rw-rw---- fedora   mail    ]  fedora
    `-- [-rw-rw---- ncrosby  mail    ]  ncrosby
