Hi again Charles,
Did you compare FS permissions on a working setup and the non-working one?
I don't have a non-working setup of dovecot
Well, I checked the dovecot log files (dovecot-info.log / dovecot.log) It doesn't show something suspicious. Just the usual login logout and password chatter. Well, maybe one of the reasons people don't always try to help you is you often just don't respond with answers to questions...
Oh, I see. It's like what I ask questions about issues and get answers on other issues...
WHAT ARE THE FS PERMISSIONS ON THAT USERS MAIL FOLDERS? And don't just say 'they are ok' - SHOW them...
All users run with the virtual mail account (vmail) accounts (if I recall correctly) are stored in %maildir format. Do you want me to display user perms ? OK ! Fine. Here's the contents of the folder with the problem :
[root@mailserver mailaccount]# ls -l total 8 drwx------ 6 vmail vmail 4096 Apr 2 17:08 Maildir -rw-rw-rw- 1 vmail vmail 141 Mar 30 17:21 user.tab
Is this what you need ? I didn't answer this not because I don't want to but because I don't know if this is what you want. There's no need to shout.
And how about SHOWING SOME LOG EXCERPTS (and increase verbosity if needed), instead of just saying you don't see anything relevant.
Here goes :
