I have maildirs. A little update: Once a upon time a changed servers,
and then I backed up the db. Then the db had gid/uid of 90. And when I
imported the db they were still at 90. But when I installed vexim then I
used uid/gid 8. (Wich is the user mail). So I updated all users to use
uid/gid 8 today. And I chowned /usr/local/mail/* to mail:mail. And now
pop/imap does not work at all! I can login to roundcube, but I cannot
send/recieve any mail. The local clients prompts for passwd.
So in other words, I got the whole setup kinda screwed. But hopefully
this will eventually sort things out.
And no, chmod -R 1777 * did not help at all. I will provide some logs
in a few minutes. But I have to take the dog out for a run:)
