Courier wants the Maildir to be in ~/Maildir, if you don't want to do that, you need to use symlinks to get around it. Here's what I do (including permissions), and it works with Courier imapd. I don't have pop3d installed but it should work too with the same setup. lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 14 Apr 7 13:41 /home/gary/Maildir -> /var/mail/gary/ drwx------ 9 gary mail 528 Apr 20 20:48 /var/mail/gary drwx------ 2 gary gary 72 Apr 11 11:39 calendar -rw------- 1 gary gary 0 Apr 11 11:48 calendar.cache -rw-r--r-- 1 gary gary 751 Apr 20 20:48 courierimapuiddb drwx------ 2 gary gary 1152 Apr 20 20:45 cur drwx------ 2 gary gary 48 Apr 20 20:43 new -rw------- 1 gary gary 146 Apr 7 13:59 sqwebmail-addressbook -rw------- 1 gary gary 109 Apr 8 16:11 sqwebmail-config -rw------- 1 gary gary 13539 Apr 11 11:48 sqwebmail-curcache.gdbm -rw------- 1 gary gary 4 Apr 11 11:48 sqwebmail-curcnt -rw------- 1 gary gary 78 Apr 11 11:39 sqwebmail-ip -rw------- 1 gary gary 1 Apr 11 11:48 sqwebmail-timestamp -rw------- 1 gary gary 16 Apr 11 11:48 sqwebmail-token drwx------ 2 gary gary 48 Apr 21 12:09 tmp The weird thing is that you mentioned it worked with the permissions different - I can't understand that, unless Courier pop3d is more flexible than imapd. -- =Nicholas Riley <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> | <http://www.uiuc.edu/ph/www/njriley> Pablo Research Group, Department of Computer Science and Medical Scholars Program, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign _______________________________________________ courier-users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] Unsubscribe: https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/courier-users
