It's a Maildir++ thing.

This is kind of a bug, but too big of a change for v1.0. It's already  
been fixed in v1.1.

http://wiki.dovecot.org/UserIds explains this a bit. So the mail  
user(s) need to have read-permissions to the maildir. Write permission  
isn't needed if you don't want users to be able to change flags and if  
you've set per-user index and control dirs.
