I successfully installed dovecot 0.99.10 on a fedora box using postfix 2.0.11 and when I try to connect using my mozilla mail client I get the following error in the maillog... Jan 7 18:52:16 www1 imap(arnoldc): utime() failed with index file /home/arnoldc/Maildir/.INBOX/.imap.index: No such file or directory As you can see I'm using maildirs located in the home directories. Here is a copy of my dovecot.conf and I've removed all the commented out lines to save space... protocols = imap imap_listen = * ssl_disable = yes login_dir = /var/run/dovecot-login login = imap default_mail_env = maildir:~/Maildir client_workarounds = oe6-fetch-no-newmail outlook-idle mbox_locks = fcntl auth = default auth_mechanisms = plain auth_userdb = passwd auth_passdb = shadow auth_user = root auth_verbose = yes Also, I created the maildir manually and placed a copy in my /etc/skel so that all new users receive a copy. Here is the structure and permissions from the home directory... >ll drwx------ 5 arnoldc arnoldc 4096 Jan 7 18:33 Maildir >ll Maildir/ drwx------ 2 arnoldc arnoldc 4096 Jan 7 18:33 cur drwx------ 2 arnoldc arnoldc 4096 Jan 7 18:33 new drwx------ 2 arnoldc arnoldc 4096 Jan 7 18:33 tmp Any help would be appreciated!

When opening INBOX, Dovecot creates the .INBOX/ directory and .imap.index under it. That error message comes when it's unexpectedly lost. I can't really think of reasons why, unless you manually did it.. -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...

Is there something else I can try? Do the permissions of the maildir or parent folders matter? I thought that since dovecot runs in root (unless chrooted) that couldn't be it but I'm out of ideas. I tried telneting into the server with no success either... >telnet mail.mcmservice.com imap Trying 216.110.65.253... Connected to mail.mcmservice.com. Escape character is '^]'. * OK dovecot ready.
