[Dovecot] dovecot permission problems
Hello,
I'm trying to make a dovecot installation run on my freeBSD 8.1 server, since quite a long time now, and I can't figure out how to solve my last problem. I did quite a lot of searching and many people seem to have the same problem, but I didn't manage to make any solution work on my host. So I would be glad for every hint :-)
I'm using postfix with dovecot. Everything works just as expected, except one little permission problem. When dovecot tries to deliver a mail to my homedir everything is working out. I use fdm to connect to my server to download the mails, and here is where things stop to work: Here some logs: http://pastie.org/1579465 Here my dovecot -n output: http://pastie.org/1579489
I really tried a huge amount of different things, redesigned my whole configuration file from scratch etc.
Does anybody has an idea how I could fix this little last problem I have here? If you need more information, please don't hesitate to ask, I wasn't sure what I should provide and didn't want to spam too much ;)
With best regards, Calvin23

It says it doesn't have read permissions to that file. What permissions does the file have?
My guess: You've told Dovecot to use UID 5000 for accessing mails, while your mail deliveries use some other UID to write them. Make them the same.
