Well, I've been all day yesterday solving this .. and of course a simple [root@magenta ~]# chmod a+rx /opt/mailboxes/
allows me to see the mails from scanner user.
The only problem now is when sending mails to that user I still get a warning: connect #3 to subsystem private/dovecot: Connection refused
I don't think I can set postfix to deliver directly to maildir instead of passing through dovecot ? I don't know if the home_mailbox directive allows us to use vars like %u ? or can you see anything wrong in my confs !?

Dear All,
I saw some topics discussed in forums about this, but none with my problems :(
Currently we have a mailserver postfix with courier-imap-4.1.1, and courier-pop3 and courier-authlib.
Our Maildir's are written in the users home directory (ex: ~/Maildir)
I'm now migrating the mailserver to other cluster and installing with dovecot. We're also moving the Maildir's to other directory (ex: /opt/mailboxes/%u)
I've ran your perl script courier-dovecot-migrate-1.0.pl which worked just great (as far as I can tell from the OK messages) .. but when configuring my mail client for this account I get the following:
Mar 16 09:49:27 magenta dovecot: auth(default): master out: USER 69 scanner system_user=scanner uid=734 gid=100 home=/home/scanner
Mar 16 09:49:27 magenta dovecot: imap-login: Login: user=<scanner>, method=PLAIN, rip=::ffff:192.168.1.210, lip=::ffff:192.168.1.110

Mar 16 09:49:27 magenta dovecot: IMAP(scanner): stat(/opt/mailboxes/scanner/cur) failed: Permission denied
[root@magenta ~]# ls -la /opt/mailboxes/
total 36
drwxrwx--- 4 root dovecot 4096 Mar 15 11:49 .
drwxr-xr-x 6 root dovecot 4096 Mar 9 2009 ..
drwxrwx--- 2 root root 16384 Feb 10 15:55 lost+found
drwx------ 9 scanner users 4096 Mar 15 11:56 scanner
The second problem is between postfix / dovecot.. When I send an email to this user I get the following:
Mar 16 09:52:11 magenta postfix/local[19065]: warning: connect #1 to subsystem private/dovecot: Connection refused
Mar 16 09:52:12 magenta postfix/local[19064]: warning: connect #5 to subsystem private/dovecot: Connection refused
I've the following on my /etc/postfix/main.cf
## deliver with dovecot
dovecot_destination_recipient_limit = 1
mailbox_transport = dovecot
smtpd_sasl_auth_enable = yes
smtpd_client_restrictions = permit_sasl_authenticated
I hope you can give me a hand on this :) If you need further information, please let me know (perhaps I forgot something)
Best Regards Daniel
