Hi

I am replacing my current mail system, using Exim/Postgres/WU-IMAP to
another host using Dovecot.

Everything has gone well, until I have tried to access some test mails
via POP.

The error message I am getting is

Feb 14 03:03:57 wpc1273 pop3(simonw at orion-w-t.co.uk): lstat
(/home/dovecot/users/orion-w-t.co.uk/simonw/cur) failed: Permission
denied
Feb 14 03:03:57 wpc1273 pop3(simonw at orion-w-t.co.uk): Couldn't open
INBOX: Internal error occured. Refer to server log for more information.
[2005-02-14 03:03:57]

The file permissions are


drwx------  2 dovecot dovecot 4096 Feb 13 23:24 cur
drwx------  2 dovecot dovecot 4096 Feb 14 02:53 new
drwx------  2 dovecot dovecot 4096 Feb 14 02:53 tmp

The UID/GID I am using is 1001, and the orion-w-t.co.uk/simonw
directories are owned by that uid/gid.

Can anyone provide advice on what I have to do to get POP, and
eventually IMAP working?

Many thanks

Simon
