[Dovecot] read only bug?

[Andy Shellam]

I think the main question is, why do you have/want a read-only maildir?

By definition a maildir is constantly changing.  In your case, dovecot 
was trying to class a new e-mail as "read", hence the move from "new" to 
"cur."  Other ways in which a maildir changes, is the changing of the 
message size (S=... flag in the filename), and adding new flags to the 
end of a message, as well as the obvious moving messages between folders 
etc.

If you want to stop certain people from changing things in the maildir, 
you need to be looking at ACLs rather than file-system permissions.
