Permissions should be something like the below; i did meet a Cyrus site once that was having odd issues and the permissions on the socket *directory* were rw-rw----. That was weird. # ls -ld /var/lib/imap/socket drwxr-x--- 2 cyrus mail 4096 Sep 1 05:47 /var/lib/imap/socket # ls -l /var/lib/imap/socket/idle srwxrwxrwx 1 cyrus mail 0 Sep 1 05:47 /var/lib/imap/socket/idle ---- Cyrus Home Page: http://www.cyrusimap.org/ List Archives/Info: http://lists.andrew.cmu.edu/pipermail/info-cyrus/
