Dear Aki,
Many thanks for your feedback. Its what I figured I should do but I was not sure how safe it was.
Would it make sense to execute the following to  /run/media/computer so that the user/group is vmail?
sudo chown -R vmail:vmail to the /run folder ?

Also if this practice is safe to perform?

Thanks
Kunal A

And the same applies for all files & directories under /run/media/computer/Storage/Email
