Hi again Charles,

Oh, I see. It's like what I ask questions about issues and get answers on other issues... > WHAT ARE THE FS PERMISSIONS ON THAT USERS MAIL FOLDERS? And don't just say > 'they are ok' - SHOW them... All users run with the virtual mail account (vmail) accounts (if I recall correctly) are stored in %maildir format. Do you want me to display user perms ? OK ! Fine. Here's the contents of the folder with the problem : [root@mailserver mailaccount]# ls -l total 8 drwx------ 6 vmail vmail 4096 Apr 2 17:08 Maildir -rw-rw-rw- 1 vmail vmail 141 Mar 30 17:21 user.tab Is this what you need ? I didn't answer this not because I don't want to but because I don't know if this is what you want. There's no need to shout. > And how about SHOWING SOME LOG EXCERPTS (and increase verbosity if needed), > instead of just saying you don't see anything relevant.
