Hi, based on commands below, anyone know why i would get these errors ?

Jun 29 12:05:02 mail2 dovecot: imap-login: Login: user=<cec-support-comment>, method=PLAIN, rip=137.99.24.120, lip=137.99.90.68, mpid=6752, TLS

Jun 29 12:05:02 mail2 dovecot: imap(cec-support-comment): Error: user cec-support-comment: Initialization failed: Initializing mail storage from mail_location setting failed: mkdir(/home/cec_support_comment/mail) failed: Permission denied (euid=593(cec-support-comment) egid=594(cec-support-comment) missing +w perm: /home, euid is not dir owner)

Back story, user wanted names to have dashes and not underscores, I guess I may need to delete user accounts and just create them again…

usermod cec_support -l cec-support

usermod cec_support_comment -l cec-support-comment

from man page

-l, --login NEW_LOGIN

           The name of the user will be changed from LOGIN to NEW_LOGIN. Nothing else is changed. In particular, the user´s home directory or mail spool

           should probably be renamed manually to reflect the new login name.

mv cec_support cec-support

mv cec_support_comment cec-support-comment

groupmod -n cec-support cec_support

groupmod -n cec-support-comment cec_support_comment

-n, --new-name NEW_GROUP

           The name of the group will be changed from GROUP to NEW_GROUP name.
