Post subject:  (SOLVED) Virtual Mailhosting System with Postfix Guide

I am following this guide
( Virtual Mailhosting System with Postfix Guide)
http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/virt-mail-howto.xml

I set up the users in mysql table and when I go log in through squirrelmail I get

ERROR:
Unknown error: [ALERT] Fatal error: .maildir: Permission denied

The permissions are set to 700 on the file. The owner of the maildir is the user the email was sent to. The directory was created automatically when I sent the first email to the user. The mail is getting to the maildir because I can see it when I go to the maildir.

Changing the permissions on the folder to 777

It logs me in but I get
ERROR: Connection dropped by IMAP server.
Query: SUBSCRIBE "INBOX.Sent"
(on the left bar)
and

ERROR: Could not complete request.
Query: SELECT "INBOX"
Reason Given: Unable to open this mailbox.
(on the top.)

I am using sendmail and have gamin installed.

From My Logs:
May 9 22:35:55 www imapd-ssl: chdir .maildir: Permission denied


I was also succesful in sending mail with mailx.
