Sorry my bad , the real user does not login for mail ,  as I said to Aki 
probably the rule is not working
as expected and on the contrast it works OK for the other v user.

If I switch it now will it affect how the users are working now ? Will

Yes sieve is a dir , everything is  owned by vmail user, no permissions
