Dear Ralph, Ah! You are right. My eyes are not working correctly. I kept thinking I was reading /va/mail/vmail etc. Sorry for this and thank you very much for catching it! Cheers

The error message seems pretty clear. User 'vmail' does not have write permissions for /var, which is owned by 'root'. I suggest you create /var/vmail and grant the necessary permissions there.
