The difference between the two is that the non-working users' Maildirs are in a different group than their login. This configuration worked fine before 4.3.0 I'm assuming launching imapd in a FreeBSD shell passes info the same way since I see the problem there, but I'm just guessing. >> For instance, in /etc/passwd, I'm gid 20 (staff), but my homedir and >> Maildir are in group 0 (wheel). > > Ugh.

I should have been clearer - My Maildir (and homedir) are in the wheel group (vs. being in the staff group), but are owned by myself and not root. Thanks again for your reply!
