Hi Steffen,


I am migrating servers. The old one has been running 24/7 for 12 years 
and was never updated.

I just copied all the eMail files, they are mounted via NFS. The old 
server was running Dovecot 2.0.16, the new one
2.3.1 (8e2f634)

Perhaps the "old" permissions are wrong?

I saw what your link refers to - still get the same error messages
