[Dovecot] indexes permissions problem

10 Nov 2011

      Hey all, I did a search but didn't find the answer to my problem, so
here goes.
I've got a centos 6 server running Dovecot 2.0.beta6 (3156315704ef).

For legacy reasons (I'm moving mail from a Dovecot 1.1.1 and FreeBSD box
with user home directories NFS mounted), my index files are setup to be
in /u/indexes/
On the Dovecot 1.1.1 installation, the perms on the indexes directory is
777 with root:mail ownership.
The same thing on the Dovecot 2 / Centos server results in a 'permission
denied' error when Dovecot tries to create files.
So, I guess my main question is, what perms and ownership should
/u/indexes be set to?  I've tried several different things before this
cry for help...
Thanks.
Mark
