This is probably a really simple issue but I am not sure how to tackle it. sudo dovecot -n: http://pastie.org/2179100 The error message in mail.log: http://pastie.org/2179032 Dovecot.conf says: mail_privileged_group: mail I thought of added the user dovecot to the group mail in hopes of solving the permissions problem, but it didn't seem to make a difference. Any ideas?

The permissions are: -rw------- 1 root root 7609 2011-07-05 16:06 /home/dlambert/Maildir/cur/msg.COmK:2,ST The same as another mail machine we have up (making a transition) I'm not sure who to find out who dovecot is running as: -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 217240 2011-06-07 00:03 /usr/sbin/dovecot root maybe?
