Just wanted to point out that you have at different UID for the folder than your EUID (gotten from userdb/passdb).

Yes, very puzzling. I'm restoring some older dovecot logs now to see if that was true e.g. in 2016. Perhaps an upgrade of some other software caused a problem. On the other hand, the other user I mentioned in my Jan 24 17:15 message, shay, also shows this UID/EUID discrepancy, but that does not prevent her from getting mail and there is no permission denied error on her messages.
More when I know more

More info ...
This is the only user having this permission problem. All other Thunderbird/dovecot users are getting mail file. They all have the same permissions set on their Maildir folder.

I've just upgraded from Slackware 14.1 to 14.2. I've not done anything with dovecot -- it's the same version that was running before the upgrade. However, now I'm getting a permission error:
/var/log/maillog:

Permission on that folder are:
$ ls -ld /home/HPRS/mark/Maildir drwx------ 17 HPRS\mark domusers 4096 Dec 7 23:07 /home/HPRS/mark/Maildir/
Permissions are unchanged since before the backup.
What do I do to fix this?
