For some odd reason, two of my users share the same Sent and Junk folders, therefore I keep getting errors about Sent folder reading permissions and one user reading the other user's Junk folder. What can I do about this odd problem?

Do you really think anyone can even guess what might cause something like this based on the information given?

How about some hints, like:

dovecot version, platform, output of dovecot -n, and maybe even - gasp

• some log entries given when these users are experiencing the problem... Dovecot version is 1.0.7, on Linux gentoo, below is dovecot -n

log_path: /var/log/dovecot.log info_log_path: /var/log/dovecot.log listen: [::] ssl_cert_file: /etc/ssl/dovecot/server.pem ssl_key_file: /etc/ssl/dovecot/server.key disable_plaintext_auth: no login_dir: /var/run/dovecot/login login_executable: /usr/libexec/dovecot/imap-login mail_extra_groups: mail mail_location: mbox:/var/mail/:INBOX=/var/mail/%u:INDEX=/var/mail/folders/%u auth default: passdb: driver: pam args: * userdb: driver: passwd

logs: open() failed with mbox file /var/mail/Sent: Permission denied.

Please let me know if you need anything else

Sorry to sound harsh, but sometimes it just amazes me how people seem to think others will just be able to read their minds...

Not a problem at all

Here you need something like mbox:/var/mail/%u/ or mbox:/var/%u/mail/ to keep all the users other mailboxes separate.

auth default: passdb: driver: pam args: * userdb: driver: passwd

logs: open() failed with mbox file /var/mail/Sent: Permission denied.
