Also be aware (and look up the details as necessary)... AFAIK mysql has its own permissions system quite apart from that of the kernel/filesystem, and many people have been confused when they see permissions errors, thinking they're filesystem/kernel permissions, when in fact they're msql user permissions system errors. Not that this particular error *is* a mysql permissions system error, but it /could/ be. It's worth investigating if you haven't. (As for me, I may be technically inclined enough to have seen multiple articles on the topic over the years, but I'm not a database person and haven never had to deal with it personally, so for me it's just an item to check on a troubleshooting list, should I ever find myself troubleshooting database errors of some sort. Meanwhile, I got off kmail when it jumped the akonadi shark, and am today much happier with the boring dependability of claws-mail. I don't need bells and whistles and calendars and databases. I need -- and have -- email that works. But YMMV, particularly if you use kontact and need calendar functionality, etc.) -- Duncan - List replies preferred. No HTML msgs.
