OK. I'm getting further now thanks to the help received by several list members. Thanks everyone! But we're not outta da woods yet Snoopy...

I've nailed it down to a call to "maildir_tmpcreate_fd(&createInfo)" failing in imapscanclient.c.

Adding some debug code to the maildir_tmpcreate_fd_do(...) function I now know the following:

info->maildir='.' (current dir = /home/vpopmail/domains/cybermedix.co.nz/mail/Maildir) info->uniq='imapuid_0' info->hostname='nzh1.nzhosting.co.nz'

So we ARE getting to the right directory. Great!

So... here are the contents of /home/vpopmail/domains/cybermedix.co.nz/mail/Maildir

drwxr----- 2 vpopmail vchkpw 4096 Sep 23 18:27 cur drwxr----- 2 vpopmail vchkpw 12288 Sep 23 18:27 new -rw-r----- 1 vpopmail vchkpw 15 Jul 29 2002 sqwebmail-pass drwxr----- 2 vpopmail vchkpw 4096 Sep 23 20:13 tmp

Hmmm. tmp is there and it has the right permissions (I think).

So I try two things.

1. chmod a+rw tmp (and test again)

2. rm -rf tmp (and test again)

Neither of these results in a change of symptom. maildir_tmpcreate_fd_do(...) still fails.

So now I'm more baffled than ever. Can't see the forest for the trees? Seems that way :(

Thanks again for any further assistance - at least we're making some progress now :)

Bryan.
