Dear Aki, Many thanks for your feedback. Its what I figured I should do but I was not sure how safe it was. Would it make sense to execute the following to /run/media/computer so that the user/group is vmail? sudo chown -R vmail:vmail to the /run folder ? Also if this practice is safe to perform?

I would only run it for the mail folders to be safe. Aki> On 25 February 2019 18:34 Kunal A. via dovecot <dovecot at dovecot.org> wrote: > > > Dear Aki, > Many thanks for your feedback.

Dear Aki, I have given permission to the folders Storage/Email to vmail. But the upper hierarchy is not under vmail . Full directory = /run/media/computer/Storage/Email /run/media/computer = not vmail Storage/Email = vmail How do I get this corrected ? It seems like vmail needs access through all through run/media/computer . Please excuse my ignorance as I am not very familiar with filesystem permissions. :-/ Sincere apologies for the trouble.
