I hit this over the weekend upgrading from 4.2.0 to 4.3.0 - Some users (myself included) were getting the following (or similar) message in various IMAP clients (or running imapd in a shell):
* BYE [ALERT] Fatal error: Account's mailbox directory is not owned by the correct uid or gid: No such file or directory It seems to only happen to users that are in more than one group. Courier appears to be using the GID from /etc/passwd to do its thing and is running in to problems where a user's Maildir is in a different group than the login group (in my case, it's in the group that the homedir is in). For instance, in /etc/passwd, I'm gid 20 (staff), but my homedir and Maildir are in group 0 (wheel). Changing my login group to wheel with vipw fixed it - I'm not sure what changed to cause this, however. This behavior wasn't present in 4.2.0. Any thoughts would be appreciated.
