I'm getting 2 errors which are probably related, the second of which I
haven't actually seen an issue with yet (I just found it looking at the
error log)
The issue is that I cannot change my subscriptions through Thunderbird
(version 31.0). I created the subscriptions through Thunderbird, but
now it won't let me change them. dovecot responds with sutff like this
when I sniff network traffic or configure Thunderbird to log IMAP traffic:
10 NO [NOPERM] No permission to modify subscriptions
The time stamp on the .subscriptions.lock file gets updated every time I
try to make a change. To test I edited .subscriptions by hand and
forced Thunderbird to try to subscribe something and I got access to the
folder I added, so I presume it is reading the file correctly.
Permissions on~jreid/mail is 0700, the existing .subscriptions file is
0640 and .subscriptions.lock file is 0600. all the files are owned by
me and their group is my primary group (not mail).
As for the second error, the dovecot.index.log.newlock file gets created
but no dovecot.index.log file gets created. And dovecot would have
created the directory tree to those files itself...
I'm new to dovecot but not Unix or IMAP so I'm sure this is just some
configuration option I've missed, any help would be most appreciated.
