Permission denied
Hello all,
I'm a new user of dovecot and I've got a permission denied problem.
I've read the VarMailDotLock wiki paper but there is still a security problem.
If I enter :
chmod a+rwxt /var/spool/mail it works but I think it's very dangerous to have
thaht rights.
So I've tried to edit the dovecot.conf file and to change the
mail_extra_groups = mail and to change the rights : chmod +t /var/spool/...

Newbie Q: Setting up under linux: Spool directory.

dovecot newbie question about "invalid key" problem
Hello list,
I've trying to migrate a small uw-imap server to dovecot.
It works somewhat, and speed seems greatly improved, so thats great.
However, I get an "invalid key/Internal Error" problem when connectiong

permissions problem reading INBOX
Hello,
I'm sorry if I'm asking something that is documented - I could swear I

the userdb when accessing the mailbox), but now I cannot find it
anywhere in the wiki!
Dovecot seems to be getting the right uid for the mailbox, but then it
is having permissions problems. The error is:
