dovecot - Jan 2010 - dovecot cannot access a specific folder

Hello list,

Has someone stumbled upon this before  ?

--
Jan 09 11:25:01 IMAP(postmaster at webmail.domain.gr): Error:
stat(/var/MailRoot/domains/webmail.domain.gr/postmaster/Maildir/tmp) failed:
Permission denied (euid=501(vmail) egid=502(vmail) missing +x perm:
/var/MailRoot)
--

"/var/MailRoot" is the root path/folder for XMail. An smtp/pop3
server.

Should I go ahead and chmod the folder or should I try to find a more
delicate solution to this ?

Any help would be greatly appreciated,

Regards,

spyros

The question seems to be: What credentials uses XMail to access the Mails, 
is 501:502 correct?

You will need to allow Dovecot to cross /var/MailRoot :-)
