Yeah, I was just doing this. And I got it working to a degree. If<br>
mail:mail owns /usr/local/mail/domain, roundcube work, but local mail<br>
clients (Mail.app, thunderbird, outlook etc) dont work. If vexim:mail<br>
owns /usr/local/mail/domain local clients work, but NOT roundcube. This<br>
has me highly confused!</blockquote>
<div><br>
Well, you add a lot of confusion to this. You appear to be trying to
address a POP3 problem in the realm of an SMTP problem. If Exim
delivers mail with the right permissions and the POP3 server is
configured to run as the "appropriate user" (with the necessary
permissions) things should just work.<br>
Let us have the log extracts for instances where Mail.app, Outlook, etc
don't work, because the problem seems to be with the permissions of the
POP3 server you are running.<br>

Can you please try:<br>
<br>
chmod -R 1777 /usr/local/mail/<a moz-do-not-send="true"
href="http://server.net">server.net</a><br>
<br>
and see if that helps?<br>
<br>
If not, then just do chmod -R 1777 /usr/local/mail<br>
<br>
<br>
Are you using mbox or Maildir (not sure if you know what that is,
anyway)?<br>

I have maildirs. A little update: Once a upon time a changed servers,
and then I backed up the db. Then the db had gid/uid of 90. And when I
imported the db they were still at 90. But when I installed vexim then
I used uid/gid 8. (Wich is the user mail). So I updated all users to
use uid/gid 8 today. And I chowned /usr/local/mail/* to mail:mail. And
now pop/imap does not work at all! I can login to roundcube, but I
cannot send/recieve any mail. The local clients prompts for passwd.<br>
<br>
So in other words, I got the whole setup kinda screwed. But hopefully
this will eventually sort things out. <br>
And no, chmod -R 1777 * did not help at all. I will provide some logs
in a few minutes. But I have to take the dog out for a run:)<br>
