Hi everyone, I feel like I am missing something obvious here. I have dovecot up and running and every piece of mail is given user read/write permission. I see the option mail_gid, but I do not see anyplace to set the group permissions. I see the below wiki talking about new home directories getting their permission from the parent directory, but this does not seem to work. Any assistance would be appreciated.

I changed the group permissions on the parent directory, and used rm -rf to delete the user directories, then logged in again so it was recreated.

[user@dovecot ~]$ sudo ls -la /mnt/home/imapd/domain.example.net/ total 24 drwxr-x--- 6 imapd imapd 4096 Oct 21 17:35 . drwxr-xr-x 46 imapd nagios 4096 Oct 21 16:55 .. drwx------ 3 imapd imapd 4096 Oct 21 16:59 user1 drwx------ 3 imapd imapd 4096 Oct 21 17:35 user2

Setup Mail is written in dbox format CentOS 5.9 dovecot 2.2.6 NFS with director

Mail Configs mail_home = /mnt/home/imapd/%d/%n mail_location = dbox:/mnt/home/imapd/%d/%n mail_uid = imapd mail_gid = imapd Thanks, Chris
