You have to make it world-writable also. I'll update the wiki to
mention that too.
That may present a problem, Timo, as postfix's "local" LDA wants
exclusivity on the files in /var/mail.
May 16 08:34:11 G518X2 postfix/local[26583]: 7E613630295:
to=<me@example.com>, orig_to=<me@example.com>, relay=local,
delay=581, status=deferred (cannot access mailbox /var/mail/bb for
user bb. unable to lock for exclusive access: Resource temporarily
unavailable)
I realize that the intent here is to have Dovecot's LDA replace
Postfix's but it would seem logical if their behaviors (and
expectations regarding directories) were in sync.
