[Dovecot] protocols and privileges

[andreas graeper]

hi,

1)
protocols = pop3
but when starting the service, output tells about imap. when mua fetches
mails ~/mail/.imap/INDEX is created.

2)
i have some users uid=500 .. 505. src in /var/mail/%u, owner is <user>.mail
and home-directories /home/<user> - owner is <user>.users

when dovecot tries to create directory /home/<user>/mail then it tells for
user xyz (uid = 502)

 euid=502(xyz)  egid=100(users) missing +w permission /home/xyz , euid is
not dir owner.

but /home/xyz is owned by xyz.users and mod = 0700     ( drwx------ )

same environment for uid = 501 works great !


thanks in advance
andreas


? permission lookup from /home/xyz/mail failed
do i have to create that mail directory manually ?
