Hi, i am about to migrate some internal imapd mboxes to dovecot. Regular access is fine, just when i want to create a folder i get the following error message in the logs: Mar 18 17:36:57 pulsar dovecot: [ID 107833 mail.error] IMAP(skayser): mkdir_parents(/home/skayser) failed: Operation not applicable /home/skayser is mounted via autofs. When i set mail_location to a subdirectory within /home/skayser, folder creation works. From looking at the truss output dovecot tries to mkdir() the parent and doesn't seem to like the ENOSYS that is returned...

...ing 2, we could change umask to "0000" and hence it does not matter than all directory hash node are owned by a user's id, but this unfortunately includes all other directories, and having all directories at 777 is not an option. Now, naturally, I can easily patch dovecot to call mkdir_parents with 0777 only for CONTROL. But I would rather not have local patches, meaning upgrades will be difficult. It would be preferable if: => Dovecot would call "mkdir_parents" on "%h" _before_ setuid, but create the final directory after. OR, Dovecot support (at least 2 leve...

Hey Timo- I got everything working now that I can log in properly...but I'm have a permissions issue and I'm not sure how to set it..I've been playing with ownership and permissions and I'm still getting this imap(tom at testdomain.com): mkdir_parents(/var/spool/mail/indexes/testdomain.com/tom/.imap/INBOX) failed: Permission denied What's that permission/ownership in that folder supposed to be?

...n, the directory is created for them. However, it is created with insecure permissions, 0770 (full group access). The problem is this bit in src/lib-storage/index/mbox/mbox-storage.c: #define CREATE_MODE 0770 /* umask() should limit it more */ The code then uses CREATE_MODE as an argument to mkdir_parents(), but mkdir_parents() overrides the umask setting and forces the requested permissions. There's no way to override this except to change the source code. It looks like the same thing is in dbox-storage.c and cydir-storage.c.
