I tested Maildir to.

Point 1 and 2 i don't know the programms.
Point 3: its 1000.

But you help me to another idea. I forgot that nothing works in my homedir. no ftp, no apache (i had my website there) etc. The other problems didn't bother me but now i remember.

Is there a possibility to delete the homedir and make it new? Or will i have the same problems again when i save the data in there?

Do the other errors of dovecot refer to this error or are there other problems.

I test your suggest, i think it should work, because it is not in homedir.

That's strange. Dovecot anyway used access() system call to verify that
the directory isn't writable. Some possibilities:

1. Did you enable SELinux / AppArmor or something similar that prevents
Dovecot from accessing home directories?

2. Some filesystem ACL was set to the home directory that prevents
writes? I don't really know anything about ACLs..

3. Are there multiple annaleins? Check with ls -ldn /home/annalein that
it's 1000.

I guess the last possibility is that Dovecot's check is just buggy. You
could get a strace output to see what Dovecot is really doing and send
it to me. You can do this by changing in dovecot.conf:

protocol pop3 {
 ..
mail_location = /usr/bin/strace -o /tmp/dovecot.log /usr/lib/ dovecot/pop3
}

Hi,

that is not the problem

drwxr-x--x 20 annalein      annalein      12288 2009-05-18 19:05
annalein

/home/annalein is writable by annalein.

It says /home/annalein isn't writable by annalein user. I'd
guess /home/annalein is no longer owned by annalein?
