Hi, I am using dovecot 0.99.14 RPM on a Fedore Core 4 Server. Everything was running fine for weeks (IMAP), and 2 days ago I was not able to delete/purge any Mail in INBOX. I am using Outlook 2003 as an IMAP-Client. I tried to delete/purge the Inbox with other mail-clients (Mozilla Thunderbird, Mulberry) too, same effect: I can read mail, I can copy them by drag-n-drop to a local Client-Folder (eg: Outlook) , but I can delete them. Strange enough, the mails are marked as read, but when I login again, all Mail are marked as new/unread ! When I log to the node, and start mutt (which is using the spool-file /var/spool/mail/username), then I am able to read-n-delete all Mails... The File Permisson of the File: 755, Owner: Username, Group: Mail. Did I miss something ? How can this stop working from one day to another ? I seems to me, like the INBOX is not writable to me ... From the UNIX Side, it is ... :-/ Any Comment/Feedback would be helpfull. This is really strange. Regards, AVE.

Now I'm beginning to suspect that it might be distro-specific. - -- Ignacio Vazquez-Abrams -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.1 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQFDGRyIoK1Hsnseh8QRAuklAKCMwEqiND9d4XFVZ+e5kG4iC1DXcACfQGeC AbSfJze0sJJhVD9IvBLoF24=YHSd -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----

This is not the first time, that selinux is disturbing a daemon to work (http, postfix ...) Thanks for hint, this solved my problem ... Regards, AVE.
