In case you've not seen it, it may be worth checking your setup in detail against this description: http://www.courier-mta.org/imap/README.sharedfolders.html#oldshared Possibly relevant: "The '-S' option to maildirmake to create a maildir that will contain shared folders. The -S option gives group and world read permissions on the maildir ^^^^^^^^^ itself (where group/world permissions are normally not set for a regular maildir). This allows access to any folders in the shared maildir, and that's why you should not use this Maildir directly as your primary mailbox." However that applies to the top-level Maildir, not to the folders within it. One other suggestion: try running imapd directly at the command line. # su - martin_hochreiter $ pwd # check you are in /home/martin_hochreiter $ /path/to/imapd Maildir .. issue IMAP commands here If you get the same "* NO Cannot open message" then you can try the same again, but this time running imapd under strace: $ strace /path/to/imapd Maildir 2>strace.log This should hopefully give you a clearer indication of exactly what file or directory is failing to be accessed. However if the operation is successful, then this proves the problem is to do with setting up the user environment when doing a remote LOGIN (e.g. perhaps the supplementary groups aren't being initialised properly) HTH, Brian. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by the 2008 JavaOne(SM) Conference Don't miss this year's exciting event.
