Subject: dovecot-imapd: has problem with read-only mbox files
Package: dovecot-imapd
Version: 1:1.2.15-4
Severity: normal

After an upgrade to squeeze I found this in the logs multiple times:

Jan 28 22:01:14 bobo dovecot: IMAP(arthur): 
file_dotlock_open(/home/arthur/mail/sent/.imap/2005/dovecot.index.log) failed: 
Permission denied (euid=1000(arthur) egid=100(users) 
access(/home/arthur/mail/sent/.imap/2005/dovecot.index.log, 4) failed: No such 
file or directory)

The problem is that the directory
  /home/arthur/mail/sent/.imap/2005
is read-only (mode dr-x------) which is probably because the original
mbox file
  /home/arthur/mail/sent/2005
is read-only.

I occasionally remove all my .imap folders to get rid of removed folders
so I'm pretty sure this behaviour was not there in the lenny version (I
was running 1:1.0.15-2.3+lenny1 before).
