Query: SELECT "INBOX" permission denied
Yesterday I was forced to migrate servers due to a hardware failure. I have been able to bring up my mail server, and set up Squirrelmail and Dovecot. I am able to access (via Squirrelmail) all users' mail except one - which happens to be my wife's, so it would be really helpful if I could get that working too. I am able to log in, but see the following message in the main pane:
ERROR: Could not complete request. Query: SELECT "INBOX" Reason Given: [NOPERM] Permission denied
I have see similar errors in my searches, but they all relate to *creating* files (inbox, sent, etc). The files do already exist here, they used to work in the same directory structure on the old server configuration, and I can see no relative difference between this user's files/permissions and working users' files/permissions.
Suggestions are welcome; thanks in advance, -Don

Here it is - I restarted the daemon and then immediately tried to log in under her name:
Nov 12 06:42:36 master: Info: Dovecot v2.2.10 starting up for imap, pop3, lmtp (core dumps disabled) Nov 12 06:42:44 imap-login: Info: Login: user=<sandra>, method=PLAIN, rip=::1, lip=::1, mpid=31188, secured, session=<IXrc5KcHCwAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAB> Nov 12 06:42:44 imap(sandra): Info: Disconnected: Logged out in=44 out=831 Nov 12 06:42:44 imap-login: Info: Login: user=<sandra>, method=PLAIN, rip=::1, lip=::1, mpid=31199, secured, session=</YDf5KcHDAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAB> Nov 12 06:42:44 imap(sandra): Info: Disconnected: Logged out in=2541 out=9856 Nov 12 06:42:44 imap-login: Info: Login: user=<sandra>, method=PLAIN, rip=::1, lip=::1, mpid=31204, secured, session=<TFrh5KcHDgAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAB> Nov 12 06:42:44 imap(sandra): Info: Connection closed in=21 out=391
I'm clearly not an expert, but I'm not seeing anything that would be immediately suspicious.
Thanks! -Don

I guess you are missing the executable bit on her directory.
Pim, I didn't catch that. That appears to have done it - thank you! -Don
