How to setup IMAPS and SMTPS in Kolab?

I forgot to mention that the postfix log now reports:

"<critical> postfix/master[19401]: fatal: open lock file 
/var/lib/postfix/master.lock: cannot open file: Permission denied"

Not sure why it is looking to /var/lib/postfix, I tried deleting the 
master.lock but it still reports the same error.
