imap permissions error plz help

[undefinedmatrix]

i made a wrong step
i wanted to update permissions for a user account in /home/user/public_html

but i forgot that i was in /usr
so i executed
/usr> chown username:username * -f -R
/usr> chown username:username *.* -f -R
and all permission for all folders and files becomes to username

so i made
/usr> chown root:root* -f -R
/usr> chown root:root*.* -f -R


but imap permission is wrong and i still have the fail message

i tried to run /scripts/convert2maildir but nothing happened

imap failed @ Thu Oct 8 00:49:07 2009. A restart was attempted automagically.

Are you using POP or IMAP to retrieve your email?

i really don't know but when i changed to Dovecot.

i think i'm working with pop as i can view, send, and receive emails.
