I am having some permission issues with my setup and I can't see where to make the change in the configuration files.

My users can not create folders at all from their email clients nor from the web interface. I have noticed that each time I try to create a folder the subscriptions files permissions are set to 000. If I go back and reset the permissions to rw-r--r-- then everything is fine until I try to add another folder.

running dovecot -n produces the following:

1.0.10: /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf

listen: [::] login_dir: /var/run/dovecot/login login_executable: /usr/lib/dovecot/imap-login verbose_proctitle: yes first_valid_uid: 1000 default_mail_env: maildir:/mnt/hd4/MailBoxes/%d/%n mail_location: maildir:/mnt/hd4/MailBoxes/%d/%n umask: 511 auth default: user: nobody passdb: driver: sql args: /etc/dovecot/dovecot-sql.conf userdb: driver: prefetch

I am guessing that Dovecot is the actual process that is creating the folders on the IMAP server, so where inside the configuration file do I set the permissions for the new folders along with the user and groups?

Thanks, -Eric
