When I set up docker mailserver I copied existing users IMAP mailboxes into the data directory for the domain.tld. I have just noticed that some (not all) of the directories have the wrong permissions and cannot be moved or deleted. I can move the messages out of the folder into a new folder.

What is the best way to reset the permissions to standard on a mailbox so that everything works again?

The current command did not success.  The mail server for account [email protected] responded: [CANNOT] Renaming not supported across conflicting directory permissions
