Bug Problem with dovecot (Killed with signal 15)

hey,

i have been facing a very fatel error with dovecot..
i am getting this error in my dovecot.log file

dovecot: Feb 13 15:21:02 Fatal: chdir(/var/mail/folders/user1) failed with uid 1001: Permission denied
dovecot: Feb 13 15:21:02 Error: child 18732 (imap) returned error 89
dovecot: Feb 13 15:22:01 Warning: Killed with signal 15

i have been googling the solution from the last two days and still didn't got the solution.i think it has something to be done with the permissions.let me post you my file permissions for /var/mail/folders/user1

drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Feb 13 13:56 /var/mail/folders/


-rwxrwxr-x 1 root root 1458 Feb 13 13:56 user1

if you find any loophole with this.then please let me know as well...this thing had screwed up my head..


waiting for your reply...Smilie

Well, does dovecot need to write to this folder? And what user are they running under?
