Hey Guys!
Many thanks for your feedback. I have kind of gotten it to work but I just
struggling to get the permissions of the folder correct. Highly appreciate
if someone could help me set the correct permission settings for it .
Terribly sorry for my ignorance.
My error msg is listed below : -
doveadm(vmail): Error: stat(/run/media/computer/Storage/Email/tmp) failed:
Permission denied (euid=5000(vmail) egid=5000(vmail) missing +x perm:
/run/media/computer, dir owned by 0:0 mode=0750)
doveadm(vmail): Error: Can't open mailbox Storage/Email:
stat(/run/media/computer/Storage/Email/tmp) failed: Permission denied
(euid=5000(vmail) egid=5000(vmail) missing +x perm: /run/media/computer,
