Hi,
I have a Fedora 14 x86_64 computer. I run dovecot 2.0.12 on it, only to keep a local imap copy of all my email, in maildir format. A couple days ago the hard disk broke, so I bought a new one, and reinstalled Fedora 14 x86_64 with all the updates.
Then I copied all the maildirs from a backup to the new drive.
But I can't access email now. No matter how I change sticky bits or ownership and permissions of all the involved files and directories, etc.. Login succeeds, but I get this error whenever I try to create new mailboxes or access existing ones:
sorry to nag the list, but is it possible that there is no way to restore this dovecot install, or at least any indication of what else I should check/try to do? Should I provide more information?
TIA for any feedback, Marco
