Since there are no group permissions and dovecot does not run as exim4u, it cannot access the mail store.

Any ideas?�� I suppose I could have dovecot run as exim4u, but that does not seem like the right way to do it.


I just checked my server, and the situation is the same there: user's Maildir is created with access permissions for that user only. Yet my IMAP server runs under its own user.

I don't think umask is really the issue here. At least according to the Dovecot manual, you're supposed to simply run it as root by default. See http://wiki2.dovecot.org/RunningDovecot . I guess it drops unnecessary permissions when a user connects.
