    I have been able to get mail sending and recieveing working perfectly useing the guides:
    http://www.howtoforge.com/perfect_setup_debian_sarge
    and with help from
    http://www.howtoforge.com/forums/showthread.php?t=2

    However, I am only able to get email working if I CHMOD the following directorys to 0777:
    /home/user_x/Maildir
    /home/user_x/Maildir/cur
    /home/user_x/Maildir/new
    /home/user_x/Maildir/tmp

    Now I don't want to CHMOD the directorys 0777 so my question is, how do I go about fixing this ? What user do I need to set the permissions too ?

    Kudos on the great guide :)

    Disregard, fixed the problem by:
    chown user_x /home/user_x/Maildir
    chown user_x /home/user_x/Maildir/cur
    chown user_x /home/user_x/Maildir/new
    chown user_x /home/user_x/Maildir/tmp
