Don,

This is a very well-maintained how-to for your setup. You want to be sure that either /etc/skel has been set up to make a Maildir for each user

maildirmake /etc/skel

or edit exim.conf to be sure that it is set up to transport mail to a maildir.

This how-to is pretty darn good.

In your Maildir you should have a cur, a tmp, and a new directory.

hopefully this helps a little

Ok I have mucked up my Maildir permissions and I am wondering if any of you higher ups (in the brain category anyway) can give me a hand. Error message looks like the following

Jan 21 17:23:27 test-email imaplogin: Connection, ip=[::ffff:10.0.0.17]
Jan 21 17:23:27 test-email imaplogin: chdir: Permission denied
It was working until I tried adding a user and I changed permissions on that users directory and it mucked up the whole deal. What should my permissions look like for my user folder and for the /Maildir? Right now my user id and the mail group have read write execute rwxrwx--- I have also noticed I have the courierimapuiddb and couriersubscribed files under my /Maildir and I am not sure those are supposed to be there let alone how they got there. Any help to straighten out my backward ass is apreciated. BTW, this is a debian box with exim, courier-imapd and squirrelmail which was running fine until I messed with adding a user. Thanks,
