drwx-x kunal kunal Storage I'm guessing this point is being more restrictive. Can you try changing this into 0755? Also suddenly you are no longer using vmail but random user IDs. This only works with vmail. Aki > On 25 February 2019 19:56 Kunal A. wrote: > > > Hi, > Yes. Output ;- >

At minimum directories /run/media/computer/Storage/ need to have o+x, so you can do chmod o+x /run /run/media /run/media/computer /run/media/computer/Storage and chown -R vmail:vmail /run/media/computer/Storage/Email Aki > On 25 February 2019 18:47 Kunal A. via dovecot wrote: > > > Dear
