I tested Maildir to.
Point 1 and 2 i don't know the programms. Point 3: its 1000.
But you help me to another idea. I forgot that nothing works in my
homedir. no ftp, no apache (i had my website there) etc. The other
problems didn't bother me but now i remember.
Is there a possibility to delete the homedir and make it new? Or will
i have the same problems again when i save the data in there?
Do the other errors of dovecot refer to this error or are there other
problems.
I test your suggest, i think it should work, because it is not in
homedir.

That's strange. Dovecot anyway used access() system call to verify
that the directory isn't writable. Some possibilities:
Did you enable SELinux / AppArmor or something similar that
prevents Dovecot from accessing home directories?Some filesystem ACL was set to the home directory that prevents writes? I don't really know anything about ACLs..
Are there multiple annaleins? Check with ls -ldn /home/annalein
that it's 1000.I guess the last possibility is that Dovecot's check is just buggy.
You could get a strace output to see what Dovecot is really doing and send it to me. You can do this by changing in dovecot.conf:protocol pop3 { .. mail_location = /usr/bin/strace -o /tmp/dovecot.log /usr/lib/ dovecot/pop3 }

Hi,
that is not the problem
drwxr-x--x 20 annalein annalein 12288 2009-05-18 19:05 annalein
/home/annalein is writable by annalein.

It says /home/annalein isn't writable by annalein user. I'd guess /home/annalein is no longer owned by annalein?
