Hey Aki, Sorry for the trouble but I am still unable to get it working. The file permissions for upper files are now drwxr-xr-x. but I think they need to be drwxr-x--x+ ? Any idea how to change it to that?
Error log is below:- doveadm(lightdm): Error: Can't open mailbox Storage/Email: stat(/run/media/computer/Storage/Email/tmp) failed: Permission denied (euid=976(lightdm) egid=976(lightdm) missing +x perm: /run/media/computer/Storage/Email, dir owned by 5000:5000 mode=0700) doveadm(setroubleshoot): Error: stat(/run/media/computer/Storage/Email/tmp) failed: Permission denied (euid=975(setroubleshoot) egid=975(setroubleshoot) missing +x perm: /run/media/computer/Storage/Email, dir owned by 5000:5000 mode=0700) doveadm(setroubleshoot): Error: Can't open mailbox Storage/Email: stat(/run/media/computer/Storage/Email/tmp) failed: Permission denied (euid=975(setroubleshoot) egid=975(setroubleshoot) missing +x perm: /run/media/computer/Storage/Email, dir owned by 5000:5000 mode=0700) doveadm(dovenull): Error: stat(/run/media/computer/Storage/Email/tmp) failed: Permission denied (euid=974(dovenull) egid=973(dovenull) missing +x perm: /run/media/computer/Storage/Email, dir owned by 5000:5000 mode=0700) ~ On Mon, Feb 25, 2019 at 11:58 AM Kunal A. <kunal...@gmail.com> wrote: > Dear Aki, > Many thanks again.
