Hmm, did you use recursion?
Maybe something like
chmod -R 775 /var/lib/dovecot
or
chmod -R 777 /var/lib/dovecot
service dovecot restart

Will do the trick. Other users in the maillist archive reported this 
solved thadt error.
But maybe youre right and dovecot needs read/write/execute permissions 
as well
chown -R /var/lib/dovecot
service dovecot restart

And then relogin with Thunderbird or ou favorite IMAP client.
Hope this helps.

Greetings,
