Hi Timo,

This is my current configuration:

mail_location = maildir:/home/mail/%d/%n
mail_extra_groups = mail

namespace public {
  separator = /
  prefix = Public/
  location = maildir:/home/mail/public
}

namespace private {
  separator = /
  prefix =
  inbox = yes
}

- System mail user:
first_valid_uid = 8
last_valid_uid = 8

- System mail group:
first_valid_gid = 12
last_valid_gid = 12

When I try connect to the server by Outlook, I get error:

Permission denied

Configuration:
   Account: xxx at domain.com
   Server: mail.domain.com
   User name: xxx at domain.com
   Protocol: IMAP
   Port: 993
   Secure(SSL): 1
   Code: 800cccd2


What's wrong?
