Hi,

when you say 'folders', do you mean regular directories, or some special
mail folder file that is specific to a certain mail reader? What mail reader
are you using?

You said you changed the permissions, but did you change the ownership of
the copied folder?

(as root)
bash# chown -R <new user id> <directory>

Regards,

Jeff
