Hi Scott, Thanks for the advice. I tried what you suggested, but with no luck. I'm still getting the 'Permission denied'. I went through the docs that are at www.postfix.org, 'cyrus+sasl'. That HowTo suggested 'cm user/test', with this format I got 'Invalid mailbox name'.
I verified the owner and group on /var/spool/imap, the ownership and group is set as you suggest. I'm not sure where I'm stuck at, but if my mail system is stuck at /var/spool/mail. How do I find out if I messed up the permissions? And, What should they be? I know in another HowTo, it suggests setting 'S' mode on directory. I believe that was in the imap directory. Do I need to do that with /var/spool/mail?
