[Dovecot] Permission denied but works anyway
I've just updated from 99.14 to 1.0.a3 on a FreeBSD box. Everything went fine, except for a bit of flakyness from Thunderbird. When first checking a mail box in Thunderbird (running on Win2k), I get a message saying that the command can't be carried out and the server answered "Permission denied". I click OK and everything works fine. As long as Thunderbird stays open, the message doesn't pop up again. It only happens when I first check the Inbox for a given account.
No problems with Eudora on Win2k or mutt on FBSD.
I've googled with various keywords but I can't find anything on this. I have an extremely vague recollection of seeing a post on this, but I can't find anything.

Is there anything in Dovecot's log files? Usually errors similar to these are written there.
Probably the only reason why that could happen without anything being written to log files is that imap process doesn't have permission to one of your mailboxes (eg. maybe a leftover core file?).

It stopped happening, so I can't do any debugging. We can't diagnose the patient if he isn't sick, doctor. :)
It never happened with mutt or Eudora, so it seems to be some sort of heisenbug in Thunderbird.
