Thanks, this is what I got:

220-viv.XXXXXXXXXXX.com ESMTP Exim 4.50 #1 Mon, 26 Sep 2005 16:39:45 -0400

Is this enough to ascertain what the access rights ought to be?

PS. What the recommended Gentoo telnet client?

The lot is also accessible via Horde's and squirrel mail web gui's - not

Meh, you could always chmod -R 770 * from the top dir of the maildir and see
what happens (since the "Mail" dir is 770, it's quite possible all the other
dirs should have same permissions). If that screws it up even more or
doesn't work, you can always restore your backup again.
