I have postfix with virtual Maildirs and courier imap set up, too. Here's the relevant part of my main.cf: virtual_mailbox_base = /home/vmail virtual_uid_maps = static:600 virtual_gid_maps = static:600 The directory /home/vmail is owned by the vmail user (id 600). With the virtual_uid_maps setting postfix uses this user for writing to the directories. In courier, you are also able to define this user: /usr/local/courier-imap/sbin/userdb "<domain>/<user>@<domain>" set home=/home/vmail mail=/home/vmail/<domain>/<user> uid=600 gid=600 With these settings everything works well. -volker
