What about the /var/spool/mail directory's permissions?

from this reference http://wiki.dovecot.org/MailboxFormat/mbox I've
added mail_privileged_group = mail

I think this should have helped, but only if the /var/spool/mail
directory's group is "mail".

I also did the chmod +t /var/spool/mail

This alone doesn't really do anything. But if the group thing doesn't
seem to work you can at least do:

chmod 01777 /var/spool/mail
