Query: SELECT "INBOX" permission denied

Yesterday I was forced to migrate servers due to a hardware failure. I
have been able to bring up my mail server, and set up Squirrelmail and
Dovecot. I am able to access (via Squirrelmail) all users' mail except
one - which happens to be my wife's, so it would be really helpful if I
could get that working too. I am able to log in, but see the following
message in the main pane:
ERROR: Could not complete request.
Query: SELECT "INBOX"
Reason Given: [NOPERM] Permission denied
I have see similar errors in my searches, but they all relate to
*creating* files (inbox, sent, etc). The files do already exist here,
they used to work in the same directory structure on the old server
configuration, and I can see no relative difference between this user's
files/permissions and working users' files/permissions.
Suggestions are welcome; thanks in advance,
-Don
