Linking mailboxes

[Kunal A.]

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
