Dear all,

Getting lots of these errors in our maillog with the INDEX changed:

dovecot: IMAP(ghenry): fchown() failed with file /home/ghenry/Maildir/index/.INBOX/dovecot.index.tmp: Operation not permitted

For .log and .cache as well.

We have:

location = maildir:/home/%u/Maildir:CONTROL=%h/Maildir/control:INDEX=%h/Maildir/index

I looked in safe-mkdir.c and saw:

fchown() failed for (line 42)

to change the owner first, so don't know why we are getting this error?

Thanks,

Gavin.
