It probably doesn't have permissions to create dotlock
to /var/spool/mail/. But it should have complained about this in the
logs. Setting mail_privileged_group=mail will probably help.

[Dovecot] Expunge working on folders, but not main mailbox

2008-10-02 Thread Xev Gittler 


I've recently installed dovecot, and while the behavior on folders is 
correct, the inbox cannot be expunged.


This is 1.1.3 running on Fedora release 8 (Werewolf) on ext3 
filesystems, using both thunderbird and squirrel clients.


Any assistance would be appreciated.
