Linking mailboxes

[Kunal A.]

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:
