Hey Aki, Sorry for the trouble but I am still unable to get it working. The file permissions for upper files are now drwxr-xr-x. but I think they need to be drwxr-x--x+ ? Any idea how to change it to that?
Error log is below:-
doveadm(lightdm): Error: Can't open mailbox Storage/Email: stat(/run/media/computer/Storage/Email/tmp) failed: Permission denied (euid=976(lightdm) egid=976(lightdm) missing +x perm: /run/media/computer/Storage/Email, dir owned by 5000:5000 mode=0700) doveadm(setroubleshoot): Error: stat(/run/media/computer/Storage/Email/tmp) failed: Permission denied (euid=975(setroubleshoot) egid=975(setroubleshoot) missing +x perm: /run/media/computer/Storage/Email, dir owned by 5000:5000 mode=0700) doveadm(setroubleshoot): Error: Can't open mailbox Storage/Email: stat(/run/media/computer/Storage/Email/tmp) failed: Permission denied (euid=975(setroubleshoot) egid=975(setroubleshoot) missing +x perm: /run/media/computer/Storage/Email, dir owned by 5000:5000 mode=0700) doveadm(dovenull): Error: stat(/run/media/computer/Storage/Email/tmp) failed: Permission denied (euid=974(dovenull) egid=973(dovenull) missing +x perm: /run/media/computer/Storage/Email, dir owned by 5000:5000 mode=0700) ~

At minimum directories
/run/media/computer/Storage/
need to have o+x, so you can do
chmod o+x /run /run/media /run/media/computer /run/media/computer/Storage
and
chown -R vmail:vmail /run/media/computer/Storage/Email

Dear Aki, I have given permission to the folders Storage/Email to vmail. But the upper hierarchy is not under vmail .
Full directory = /run/media/computer/Storage/Email
/run/media/computer = not vmail Storage/Email = vmail
How do I get this corrected ? It seems like vmail needs access through all through run/media/computer .
Please excuse my ignorance as I am not very familiar with filesystem permissions. :-/
Sincere apologies for the trouble.
Thanks Kunal A.
I would only run it for the mail folders to be safe.

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

I have kind of gotten it to work but I just struggling to get the permissions of the folder correct. Highly appreciate if someone could help me set the correct permission settings for it .

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