Do these two share a single user ID, or do they use separate IDs? Think about file/directory ownership and permissions. If user IDs 123 and 234 attempt use the same directory, things will break. User 123 should not be able to delete a file owned by user 234, for example. Perhaps have a look at your setup, and verify that you are matching multiple logins to a single OS user ID only. For example, you can use LDAP login to map an arbitrary login name to a given UID. This works nicely with Dovecot. -Ralph _______________________________________________ dovecot mailing list -- dovecot@dovecot.org To unsubscribe send an email to dovecot-le...@dovecot.org
