RE: [cobalt-developers] Neomail 1.25-3.pkg

[Dream Escape <cobalt@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Tarren and Jim,

I got the same problem on my RaQ3i.
The /~mail dir created by NeoMail is set to GID "users".
I changed it to "mail" which works fine.

You just need to add two lines into the
/home/neomail/cgi-bin/neomail file.

Search the following line (#338):
chown ($uid, $gid, $folderdir);
Comment this line and add the following two lines below:
chown ($uid, 12, $folderdir);   # change GID to mail (RaQ3i)
chmod 0700,$folderdir;          # chmod drwx------

Cheers
Phil Bast
