And on which OS? I had the same error when trying to do so with versions after about 1.0test51 on my Solaris 9 server at home. -- Curtis Maloney cmaloney at cardgate.net

I had a similar problem on Solaris but it was fixed around test52. If your root user is set up a bit differently, or your dovecot user is in the wrong group, can cause this too. Greg.

Hi Timo! As you adviced, I tried 14-rc2, it says that something wrong in makefile. But rc3 works correctly, no problems detected yet. Thanks for your help. And I have another question: when user (OutlookXP) deletes a message in INBOX, it looks striked out, but still appears. What should I do to make deleted messages deleted completely? I use mbox on my server. I guess that migration to maildir will fix this problem, but I'm not ready to make this migration yet, simply I don't know how to do it. So could you tell me what should I do with mbox? Thanks again, Paul. ----Original Message----- From: dovecot-bounces at dovecot.org [mailto:dovecot-bounces at dovecot.org] On Behalf Of Timo Sirainen Sent: Wednesday, February 09, 2005 10:58 PM To: Paul A.
