Reminder: Possible to specify local repository ownership?

[mikek at openforall.com]

Hello and thanks for your answer.
What I want is: to run offlineIMAP as root in order to get a user mail box and to store it locally but I want to store it not as root:roo but instead as vmail:vmail. I prefer to have this user and group specified at the offlineIMAP and not to change ownership (user & group) afterwards.
What do you think?
Thanks.

Do you mean a user group for your operating system?

You can try stack overflow as well.
