Help - Permissions issue with new mail
Hi all.
We have an install of Dovecot running with Postfix and Roundcube using virtual mail to allow us to connect to our AD domain which got messed up after a power issue.
I can log into our Roundcube and see all my old emails, however new emails keep getting stuck in the CUR files with permissions of -rw-------
If I chmod the email it will deliver to the inbox in Roundcube.
Can anyone advise on how I can adjust this so all new emails will come thru with the correct permissions? - Thanks in advance

First question is figuring out who is delivering the mail to the user directory? With postfix + dovecot it can be configured so either postfix is the one writing the file to drive, or postfix is handing off the email to dovecot (ie. LMTP) in which dovecot writes the file to drive.

In a Maildir type of storage, new mail would get delivered to Maildir/new. After having been accessed, it would then move to Maidir/cur/ No MTA delivers to the cur/ directory unless you have configured your Postfix to do that.

Was this working before the AD problems, or is this a new install?

Where are you changing the permissions? The destination directory?

It all depends on how your email are delivered, and you need to post some of your configuration details, such as the postfix config and the dovecot config.
For postfix, just post the changed from defaults info, which you can get with the following bash sheel command:
comm -23 <(postconf -n) <(postconf -d)
See the postconf man page for details.
Also post your dovecot info as well.
1: This was previously working but has been down since there was an unexpected power outage. This install has been in place for several years 2: When I chmod -r the CUR folder I can get mail to drop to our roundcube inbox or if I chmod the actual email file in the cur folder (have tried both) however new messages still come thru with -rw------- 3. Attached is a copy of the return from comm -23 <(postconf -n) <(postconf -d) with the exception of a few redactions for our personal data 4. What info would you like to see from dovecot?
Any help is much app
