When I try this:

    Fatal: Import namespace initialization failed: Initializing mail 
storage from mail_location parameter failed: 
mkdir(/home/phoffman/project1) failed: Permission denied 
(euid=1013(phoffprop) egid=1013(phoffprop) missing +w perm: 
/home/phoffman, dir owned by 1001:1001 mode=0755)

Does this error indicate that it is trying to write to the mbox file 
instead of reading it? If so, why?
