Get this problem report when I try to send mail to myself ([email protected])

: maildir delivery failed: create maildir file
    /var/services/homes/Palle/.Maildir/tmp/1303106967.P29803.Palle_NAS:
    Permission denied

As far as I can see I have created the directory as well as given myself (and anybody else) full permission:
drwexrwxrwx

Thank you in advance
Palle

Hi, That is not a Roundcube issue its something with your mail server software. I think you'll get much better help if you go ask their community for help.

Hi Palle,

You might want to chown /var/services/homes/Palle/ with Palle:Palle after it has been created or at least /var/services/homes/Palle/.Maildir but you will have to create it yourself before it starts to be used.
(I my self use Postfix and Dovecot where maildir-folders have to be created and given the right permissions and ownership before they start to be used by the mailsystem: postfix and dovecot for imap.)

The thing is that when a part of the mailsystem create a new folder it might not give the right properties to the folder even if you give the rwx set on  world, group and user on the parent folder.

With postfix+dovecot it is enough for me only to give rwx on the user part of the permissions as far as I recall. But you could consider giving r(-/w)x on the group as well in case of trouble.

But what what user and group does .Maildir have after creation?
