[Dovecot] dovecot imap permission denied

[Daminto Lie]

Hi,

I received the following error from mail.log 


Aug 31 13:50:57 server1 dovecot: IMAP(mike_lee): mkdir(/home/mike_lee/Maildir/.INBOX.Sent/cur) failed: Permission denied (euid=1004 egid=1003(companyusergroup) missing +w perm: /home)

What I have tried to do is changing the permission for /home by typing "sudo chmod 755 /home" and this does not work. What does it mean by missing +w perm: /home? and wonder how to get around it?

This is what I have in main.cf from Postfix

myhostname = server1
myorigin = /etc/mailname
relayhost = 
mynetworks = 127.0.0.0/8, 192.168.1.0/24
inet_interfaces = all
inet_protocols = ipv4
home_mailbox = Maildir/
smtpd_sasl_type = dovecot
#smtpd_sasl_path = private/auth-client
smtpd_sasl_path = private/auth
smtpd_sasl_auth_enable = yes
smtpd_recipient_restrictions = permit_sasl_authenticated,permit_mynetworks,reject_unauth_destination
#smtpd_sender_login_maps = ldap:/etc/postfix/ldap_senders.cf
broken_sasl_auth_clients = yes
#dovecot_destination_recipient_limit = 1
debug_peer_list = 127.0.0.1
debug_peer_level = 5

Any help is very much appreciated.

Thank you
