Try restoring the SELinux contexts, as Ian says. It should set them back to the expected ones, and things should work normally (if *that* is the problem). SELinux will disallow reading of some files, if it appears that the program shouldn't be allowed to read *THOSE* particular files. Its error messages aren't the clearest of things to comprehend. I wish that if something couldn't read the files, it clearly said *why*. Such as denied by file permissions, or denied by security permissions, you don't own these files, etc. -- NB: All unexpected mail to my mailbox is automatically deleted.
