> Who owns /var/vmail?

ls -al /var/vmail/
total 8
drwxrwx---  2 vmail mail 4096 Oct 19 18:45 .
drwxr-xr-x 26 root  root 4096 Oct 23 08:35 ..
/usr/sbin/usermod -a -G mail,postfix dovecot

And I'm still getting the same error:
dovecot: auth-worker: Error: mysql(localhost): Connect failed to database (postfix): Access denied for user 'dovecot'@'localhost' (using password: YES)

TIA,
Jack
