Initialization failed: Namespace '': mkdir(/var/www/mail) failed: Permission denied

[trash]

Hi,









 
Why is it trying a mkdir in /var/www?
 
Any help would be appreciated.

Rgs,

I'm running dovecot (v 2.2.9) on ubuntu 14.04 since a long time. I did not change any configuration lately and I'm getting the below error message. /dovecot: lda(www-data): Error: user www-data: Initialization failed: Namespace '': MKDIR(/VAR/WWW/MAIL) failed: Permission denied (euid=33(www-data) egid=33(www-data) missing +w perm: /var/www, dir owned by 1001:1001 mode=0755//)  / I did some troubleshooting and I don't understand where the MKDIR(/VAR/WWW/MAIL) is coming from. Mailboxes are in /var/mail and sending/receiving emails is working as it always did. mail_location is still setup to be MAIL_LOCATION = MBOX:~/MAIL:INBOX=/VAR/MAIL/%U
