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

Hey Guys! Many thanks for your feedback. 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 . Terribly sorry for my ignorance.
My error msg is listed below : -
doveadm(vmail): Error:
stat(/run/media/computer/Storage/Email/tmp) failed: Permission denied (euid=5000(vmail) egid=5000(vmail) missing +x perm: /run/media/computer,

You need to give write permissions to vmail on /run/media/computer/Storage/Email
You can
- change owner to vmail
- change group to vmail and add rwx for group
- use posix ACLs
- change mode to 0777 (unsafe)
Aki
And the same applies for all files & directories under /run/media/computer/Storage/Email
