RE: [Dovecot] MySQL Auth and default_mail_env
Well I've tried a number of different permissions , uid , gid
What I have are mail server permissions on the spool folders where the users are virtual.
The mail server runs under exim:mail and I have tried unique uid:gid and exim:mail uid:gid To access the directories as well as the folder permissions 770 750 etc.
Dovecot is running as it's own user (imapd)
What should they be working as ?
Maybe I missed something in the docs.

Well, you need the mail server and imap server both able to write to these directories, so I would suggest putting both users in the same group and setting the driectory permissions to 770 and group ownership to the common group.

Thanks for the responses.
I did a check in every directory and it seems to have been the permissions on the runtime directory.
Unfortunately the logs don't indicate that but it is working now.
