Mail wont log in

Hi

I update my server to Ubuntu 8.04lts from 6.06.. did a clean install (formatted the old server) then installed virtualmin.. all went fine excpet now I can't check email at all from outlook - in none of the domains added.. have checked and triple checked the login password and details - all correct.. i keep getting this error in the mail and sys logs..

Jun 4 15:46:40 scotty dovecot: POP3(spock@ozhomenet.com): mkdir(/var/lib/dovecot/index/spock@ozhomenet.com/.INBOX) failed: Permission denied

When I set the server up I did what I always did under ubintu vers 6.06..

changed the mail login to username@server (in the templates)
changed dovecot as follows..

Disallow plaintext authentication in non-SSL mode? - set to No

UIDL format - UW ipop3d

I also took some forum advice and in webmin changed the default user home permissions to 751 - reinstalled the website.. still no luck

that always worked - now I am at a loss as to why it wont allow email logins..
