Re: Error when trying to edit users...

with further checking in logs I found this:

ERROR: directory doesn't exist or incorrect permission (check parent directories also): /var/vmail/mlmmj.

it is set to vmail:vmail

this is the service:

Resolved, it was a permissions issue and folder owner as the Error says.
