Hello


I occasionally get the following error in dovecot log
I've replaced the username by xxxxxxx

/user is the user's home directories place, does this means
it must be owned by the "mail" group ?


Sep 14 09:20:48 IMAP(xxxxxxx): Error:
fchown(/user/xxxxxxx/.imap/INBOX/dovecot.index.tmp, -1, 8(mail)) failed:
Operation not permitted (egid=3420(math), group based on /var/mail/xxxxxxx)



Thanks
