This is a separate topic from my others and maybe some are using squirrelmail for the web acess... my question is around directory permissions.
ecm2admin is making the domains and mailboxes fine...
but when using squirrelmail I get the error that imap can't log users into the same paths (permission denied errors)... does anyone know the correct gid and uid?
thanks.

I get this error from squirrelmail on the web
ERROR:
Unknown error: [ALERT] Fatal error: Account's mailbox directory is not owned by the correct uid or gid:
and console log is
Apr 1 11:40:12 iconindustries imapd[258]: gdlawson@lawsonpark.ca: chdir(/volumes/Web/mail/LawsonPark/lawsonpark.ca/g dlawson@lawsonpark.ca) failed!!
Apr 1 11:40:12 iconindustries imapd[258]: error: No such file or directory
so it seems clear to me it can't see it.
thoughts?

actually... that didn't solve the problem
just to confirm
apache was halted
changes made
substituted my actual directories (different from usr/share/)
squirrelmail is set to courier
squirrelmail configtest script says ok

wherever it is... permission on data and attachment folders must be as shown here.
cd /usr/share/squirrelmail
chown -R www data
chgrp -R www data
mkdir attachments
chown -R root attachments
chgrp -R www attachments
chmod -R 730 attachments

This is so far all I can find in log files:

ah which is true... this is all that's in that directory
drwxr-xr-x 4 root wheel 136 Mar 28 12:34 man
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel 2193 Mar 28 12:34 mkimapdcert
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel 2193 Mar 28 12:34 mkpop3dcert
I've installed courier scripts again and they didn't add anything here.

another update....
I went into squirrelmail config and took all secured logins off, left it just plain text and 143....
the message changed to:
ERROR: Connection dropped by IMAP server.
the log file doesn't seem to add anything.

Just a note as well. these problems seem to be limited to client login only. I have sent emails to the domain(s) etc and they're being delivered fine. Both checking the log and looking in the actual mailbox folder. all is good.
I have also tried logging in with a mail.app through both imap and pop and can't do either of those either... so this appears to be just on the login side.

ok I've got pop clients working so it seems to be localized to just squirrelmail...
the mole continues digging....

Ok found one solution... here is the answer to my error message:
Mismatches between ownership of the mailbox directory and the
ownership retrieved from the account database can cause mysterious
error messages. To prevent these a sanity check was added to Courier
IMAP. Such mismatches trigger the following error on login:
BYE [ALERT] Fatal error: Account's mailbox directory is not owned
by the correct uid or gid
The sanity check can be averted by setting IMAP_MAILBOX_SANITY_CHECK in /etc/courier/imapd to 0 and restart Courier IMAP.
using imapd.rc stop and then start and same for pop3d.rc we're back running again.
whew!

Although logins are working ok... the server is now rejecting mail
2008-04-01 17:15:35 H=smtp2.cogeco.ca (fep3.cogeco.net) [216.221.81.29] sender verify fail for <chris@barantas.ca>: Unrouteable address
2008-04-01 17:15:35 H=smtp2.cogeco.ca (fep3.cogeco.net) [216.221.81.29] F=<chris@barantas.ca> rejected RCPT <gdllawson@lawsonpark.ca>: Sender verify failed
not sure why those two are related... all I changed was the insanity check?

ah found the problem....
don't have a domain defined that you haven't formally routed the mx path to yet (cart before the horse scenario) ;-)
thanks George for all your help... it appears to be working well.
now for some custom skins.
