Are you plain stupid or does you just need glasses ? .

1. no one asked for a explaination of linux permissions (especially not
a weird one).
2. he stated that he was talking about recieved email which will by
default be owned the user who recieved it. 

3. He said that he had allready tried chmodding the mail files, but
appearnltly it failed. 
He think it's because that kmail uses Maildir which envolves moving the
mail from one dir to another when it's recieved/read/deleted and kmail
doesn't like that it's not allowed to do that. 
The correct solution would be an action restriction but i dunno if one
exists.
