Default Courier IMAP - ccount's mailbox directory is not owned by the correct uid or gid

so i poked around and found out that `DEFDOMAIN="@domain.se"` is messing things up, so i removed that from `/etc/courier/imapd` and i got to the point where `SMTP` work and i get this from the `IMAP`:

Code:
    Jul  2 13:23:10 HOST authdaemond: Authenticated: sysusername=anton, sysuserid=<null>, sysgroupid=20001, homedir=/storage/vmail/anton, address=anton, fullname=Anton, maildir=<null>, quota=<null>, options=<null>
    Jul  2 13:23:10 HOST authdaemond: Authenticated: clearpasswd=MyPasswd, passwd=$3e$04$AC1c10x0A3etWCJFrla.Rl2sevNhq24yXYxrq8IN7mEeGI20.
    Jul  2 13:23:10 HOST imapd-ssl: anton: Account's mailbox directory is not owned by the correct uid or gid
But i'm not sure why because:

Code:
    # ls -l /storage/vmail/
    -rw-r--r--  1 vmail  vmail   22 Mar 13 01:06 .Xdefaults
    -rw-r--r--  1 vmail  vmail  773 Mar 13 01:06 .cshrc
    -rw-r--r--  1 vmail  vmail  398 Mar 13 01:06 .login
    -rw-r--r--  1 vmail  vmail  113 Mar 13 01:06 .mailrc
    -rw-r--r--  1 vmail  vmail  218 Mar 13 01:06 .profile
    drwx------  2 vmail  vmail  512 Jun 30 10:44 .ssh
    drwxr-xr-x  3 anton  anton  512 Jun 30 10:44 anton
my `/etc/courier/imapd` says:

Code:
    MAILDIRPATH=/storage/vmail
But i've also tried:

Code:
    MAILDIRPATH=Maildir
And `/etc/passwd` states:

Code:
    # cat /etc/passwd | grep anton                                                                                                                                                                                 
    anton:*:20001:20001:Anton:/storage/vmail/anton:/sbin/nologin
Where am i going wrong?

You might consider reaching out to Giovanni Bechis (giovanni@). He's an OpenBSD developer who happens to be $MAINTAINER of this port.

This post from the Gentoo forums seem to have a workaround as well as a solution: http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t...3-start-0.html

For some info about the Maildir mail box format see: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maildir

I love you! I must have some compulsive behavior or something but after bashing my head against a wall for 3 days and not solving the problem i just start to hate myself, but this did the trick!

Now i can play around why that doesn't work while i can still manage my emails! So thank you!

Note:
Since my server is restricted to only authentication via SSL/TLS i had to include IMAP_MAILBOX_SANITY_CHECK=0 in the /etc/courier/imapd-ssl config as well because it didn't reflect over from /etc/courier/imapd for some reason.. But now it works!

For SASL it seems to be easier to use Postfix together with dovecot.

See http://www.postfix.org/SASL_README.html and http://wiki.dovecot.org/HowTo/PostfixAndDovecotSASL

If the current setup is working I would not mess around with it anymore. You could try the Postfix - Dovecot combination on a second box and see whether that is easier to configure.

I've given it a thought half-way through all the problems, but i've implemented dovecot in a few other production systems (altho they used LDAP) and it was a messy story, so i thought i'd give something new a shot.. so i've ended up with courier (for better and for worse).

I'll give this a spin for a while and see what happens, i'll probably end up doing my own software all together since tbh, SMTP and IMAP are old stuff and i hardly need 50% of what IMAP offers me, so i'll probably create something completely bare-bone/minimalistic :)
