I think i got it ! I'm running Dovecot as imap server for my Squirrel mail connections. My Dovecot version 1.2.6. I change one configuration in the dovecot configuration file:
# Group to enable temporarily for privileged operations. Currently this is # used only with INBOX when either its initial creation or dotlocking fails. # Typically this is set to "mail" to give access to /var/mail. mail_privileged_group = mail Since then , everything seems ok. I'll let you know future results. Thanks! 2010/9/11 <augustocasagra...@gmail.com>: > lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 10 Dec 10 2007 mail -> spool/mail > This is the /var/spool permission for the s-link > > drwxrwxrwt 3 root root 12288 Sep 11 14:56 mail > This is the permission for the /var/spool/mail directory > > Today i recreate de user, test de mailbox, works ok.
