Poc, 

Don't let me confuse things. I moved some spam for two users with Webmin so I could run SA learn on the folder called spam.
At the time I was using a Windows client to do the Webmin admin work. BTW, I use Dovecot with Postfix.

^-Forget all that above.-^

The question is about linux/unix ownership and permission for Maildir Inbox and other user defined folders. 
What does evolution expect to see for ownership and permission for the example below?

Octal


Owner / Group


Permissions




/Maildir
















/Inbox
















 /cur
















   filexyz
















 /new
















   file123
















 tmp
















   file456

Are you talking about Unix/Linux file permissions? Are these local files
or remote Samba-mounted shares (or being served by Samba from Linux to a
remote Windows client)? Please be more explicit.
