Hello,
We had some errors with some of our accounts on a new server.

Dovecot gives:
So I looked into the permissions and both folders (imap and Maildir) the owner is set to: <user>:access. I changed it to <user>:mail.
This fixed the problem
This seems to happen with accounts that were moved from another server. We restored the mail from the backup, but not the other parts of the backup.
Could it be that in that case the permissions are set right??
Greetz, Lydia
