What permissions do I need to check exactly? Is the mbox file sufficient? Are there lock files needed? What else is going on in mailutils? I used mail (interactively, without parameters) pop3d -i (in xinetd) imap4d -i (in xinetd) I did not modify any config files regarding those programs, if they exist.
