Description Clinton Work 2010-07-26 07:04:38 UTC
Summary:

SELinux is preventing /usr/libexec/dovecot/imap "read" access on Maildir.

Detailed Description:

SELinux denied access requested by imap. It is not expected that this access is
required by imap and this access may signal an intrusion attempt. It is also
possible that the specific version or configuration of the application is
causing it to require additional access.

Allowing Access:

You can generate a local policy module to allow this access - see FAQ
(http://docs.fedoraproject.org/selinux-faq-fc5/#id2961385) Please file a bug
report.

Comment 1 Miroslav Grepl 2010-07-26 10:59:46 UTC
Looks like a labeling problem. Where is Maildir located?

Try to execute:

restorecon -R -v /path_to/Maildir


Please reopen if the problem still persists.

Comment 2 Clinton Work 2010-07-26 19:58:35 UTC
I'm using postfix with maildrop to use Maildir style mailboxes in each users home directory.  For example:  

/home/clinton/Maildir

I'll try restorecon -R -v on /home and see how it works:  
restorecon -R -v /home
