I've just upgraded from Slackware 14.1 to 14.2. I've not done anything with dovecot -- it's the same version that was running before the upgrade. However, now I'm getting a permission error:

I've gotten errors like this when it was actually a selinux denial. If you're running selinux, check those logs too.

No, I am not running selinux. Here is the error I get in the maillog:

You can see that the tmp/ folders for both users are set exactly the same, yet user 'mark' is getting the permission error. mark's mail is not getting delivered; shay's mail is.

Yes, very puzzling. I'm restoring some older dovecot logs now to see if that was true e.g. in 2016. Perhaps an upgrade of some other software caused a problem. On the other hand, the other user I mentioned in my Jan 24 17:15 message, shay, also shows this UID/EUID discrepancy, but that does not prevent her from getting mail and there is no permission denied error on her messages.

"backup"? You've restored the Maildir's from somewhere else? What was the _numerical_ UID within the backup and what is it now?
This is the only user having this permission problem. All other Thunderbird/dovecot users are getting mail file. They all have the same permissions set on their Maildir folder.
- Does all users have two numerical UIDs? Which numerical UID does the files on the filesystem belong to? to >3000000 or to 1xxxx ?
On the other hand, the other user I mentioned in my Jan 24 17:15 message, shay, also shows this UID/EUID discrepancy, but that does not prevent her from getting mail and there is no permission denied error on her messages.
What are those Error messages? I mean the highligted part of Error: **opendir**(/home/HPRS/mark/Maildir) failed .
====
- In which way do you assign the uid Dovecot is using to access the filesystem? Does your userdb return ExtraFields like, http://wiki2.dovecot.org/UserIds?highlight=%28system_user%29 ? Are they different between mark and shay?
If the numerical UID is derived from the system, check out
id mark id shay
It looks like your users login with "mark" only? Or are they using HPRS\mark ?

- Why does both UIDs 3000026 and 10001 translate back to HPRS\mark ? What HPRS\mark translates to?
Permission on that folder are:
$ ls -ld /home/HPRS/mark/Maildir drwx------ 17 HPRS\mark domusers 4096 Dec 7 23:07 /home/HPRS/mark/Maildir/
- I guess this HPRS\mark is 10001 ? (And not 3000026)
Permissions are unchanged since before the backup.
"backup"? You've restored the Maildir's from somewhere else? What was the _numerical_ UID within the backup and what is it now?
"backup" meaning I looked at the permissions on an older routine, backup. No, I did not restore anything.
BUT ... I found the problem. I upgraded Samba4 10 days ago from version 4.2.12 to 4.4.8 and, in the course of researching this problem, I found that the A/D authentication was broken:
with 4.2.12 on AD/DC: $ getent passwd mark HPRS\mark:*:10001:10000:Mark Foley:/home/HPRS/mark:/bin/false
With 4.4.8 on AD/DC: $ getent passwd mark HPRS\mark:*:3000026:100:Mark Foley:/home/HPRS/mark:/bin/bash
The new version of Samba is giving me this bogus UID:GID. I've no idea why. I have posted messages on the Samba List asking for help on this.
Email clients authenticate with Dovecot via Kerberos/GSSAPI and Dovecot was therefore trying to use 3000026:100 to access Maildir files/directories created with owner 10001:10000.
I've done a workaround by added the correct UID, GID for this user to /etc/passwd, although one is not suppose to have AD users in /etc/passwd. However, that is working for the time being.
If anyone on this list has had this experience and knows what needs to be fixed, please let me know!
Thanks -- Mark
