when I go to Webmin > Servers > Postfix Mail Server (Postfix version 2.9.6) > "Read User Mail"
i get this message: postfix Read User Mail Failed to open /home/domain/homes/username/Maildir/cur : Permission denied
in the webmin log it looks like this
Error: Failed to open /home/domain/homes/username/Maildir/cur : Permission denied
Error
-----
Failed to get ratings : HTTP/1.1 500 Internal Server Error
i am not sure if the msg with the ratings is only there by coincidence.

Howdy -- it sounds like you may be seeing a permission issue of some sort.
What is the "domain" and "user" in question in this case?
And what is the output of these commands:
ls -ld /home/domain/ls -ld /home/domain/homes/
ls -ld /home/domain/homes/username/
ls -ld /home/domain/homes/username/Maildir/
ls -ld /home/domain/homes/username/Maildir/cur

hi andreychek, thanks for your quick response. it is like this:
drwxr-x--- 15 santa-gula santa-gula 4096 Mai 28 07:47 /home/santa-gula/

Ah yeah it doesn't appear that the user "social" owns it's own home directory.
Did someone perhaps run a "chmod -R santa-gula" command in /home/santa-gula?
What you'd need to do is ensure that "/home/santa-gula/homes/social/" and everything under that is owned by the user "social".

yes maybe used a -R inappropriately ;) thanks for your help. everything is fine now.
