Well, first of all I don't understand why you're using 700 and not 600.
Also I don't understand where exactly you've applied ACLs, to mail files
themselves or to dovecot-shared? In any case Dovecot wouldn't even try
to copy the ACLs if you wanted that.

But as for why the mail files are 660, that's a bit weird. If you didn't
have dovecot-shared file at all, are they still created with 660? If so,
the only thing I can think of is that you've changed umask from
dovecot.conf. The default is umask=077 (and it's already been removed
from dovecot-example.conf because changing it doesn't work in any useful
way).
