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

nope, you have to tell dovecot auth backend more how to write to homedir of 'id proffprop'

uid and gid does not match

as i read it, proffprop have uid 1001 and dovecot tryed to write to 1013

search that error and solve it
