[Dovecot] Second user problems
I have dovecot (0.99.14 under FC4) set up and working beautifully for my mail, handing on to procmail, and handling many subfolders. Today I needed to set up a second user. I added his account in kmail and created a sub-folder, but no sent-mail, trash etc. were created. I have sent test messages and /var/log/maillog says they have been processed, but they are not arriving in his inbox. /var/log/mail.info shows that he has logged in to dovecot. He has a simple .procmailrc to handle the one subdirectory.
I'm sure that it must be something I've missed in dovecot.conf, but I can't see anything there that shouldn't work just as well for him as it does for me. Any pointers?

Suspicious procmailrc - I added new/ to the path today, as someone suggested elsewhere. Maybe that's what is being questioned. Here is the .procmailrc
SHELL=/bin/sh PATH=/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/sbin:/sbin
#Set user variable
USER=david
#Set user Inbox directory MAILDIR=/home/david/Maildir/ DEFAULT=$MAILDIR
#Set logfile LOGFILE=/home/david/pm.log MAILDIR=$HOME/Maildir/
VERBOSE=YES LOGABSTRACT=YES
LOG=" "
###For maildir, ensure that all recipe commands end with '/'###
:0
- ^To: .*\@lydgate.org.uk ${MAILDIR}.INBOX.Mailbox/new/ .......
/home/david/pm.log is empty.
Anything else I can trace that may help? Thanks for replying

Somebody more knowledgeable than me will probably correct this, but...
I believe that the .procmailrc must be owned by the correct user's account. I recall reading something once about delivery errors for procmail if the rc file is not owned and/or permissioned correctly.

Bingo. David's .procmailrc is "suspicious" because Anne owns it. procmail executing as David has permission to read, though.
