There should be no processes named 'imapd' with UID 0.

Well, there are. As root I execute the courier-imap script which I have in my init.d. When i have executed "/etc/init.d/courier-imap start" serveral processes start.

'couriertcpd' and 'logger' run as root, but not 'imapd'.

May 9 18:14:43 spacelab pop3d: Connection, ip=[::ffff:127.0.0.1] (when I start the session) May 9 18:14:55 spacelab pop3d: /usr/lib/courier/imap/bin/pop3d: Permission denied (after I have written in my username and password)

Authentification was successful, but the numerical UID 89 cant access /var/qmail/vpopmail/domains/domain.no/davidk/Maildir I dont know the UID of vpopmail, but its probably not 89.

Run `ls -lan /var/qmail/vpopmail/domains/domain.no/davidk/Maildir` to see the numerical UID, and check also the owner of delivered messages. Everything must be owned by UID 89.

I have done that. I even chmoded the entire /var/qmail directory to 777 on the test server and still the same thing happens. The entire session just dies when I enter the corret username/password.

The output of ls -lan would have helped. I still dont know the numerical uid of 'vpopmail', try this:

cd /var/qmail/vpopmail/domains/domain.no/davidk/Maildir su vpopmail -c "touch test" su vpopmail -c "ls -lan ." su vpopmail -c "rm -v test"

there should be no errors, repeat in the subdirectory ./tmp If you get errors also check the parent directories, they all must have at least world-searchable permission.
