Hello All. I have an SME server (recently patched) that is now doing some strange things it has never done before. I had a user who could not access his mail via Outlook. When I tried remotely to access his webmail I could not. It brought up the webmail, but did not display any of his messages. So I searched through the logs, and I noticed a log complaining about permissions in his MailDir.. So, I checked and found there were a few files that had ownership permissions other than the user in question. When I looked at the raw files, I found they were mail, that should have been delivered to another user. They were essentially spam so I just deleted them. After deleting the other users mail files, the IMAP mail started working as it should.
To correct this I rebooted and updates and rebooted again.
The original user is now having the same problem again, and I have corrected it again. I now know of another user who had the same problem, but he has files in his maildir that have no size, and so far, I have not been able to delete them.
So, IMAP keeps putting other users files in the wrong place, or creating corrupted files that cannot be deleted. My searches for corrupt IMAP files have yet to lead me anywhere.
If anyone has any suggestions, I would greatly appreciate it!
