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>

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>
