When accessing mailbox through Dovecot IMAP, all user mailboxes are in
READ-ONLY mode.
Here is a snippet from IMAP telnet conversation (after successful login).
a EXAMINE INBOX

FLAGS (\Answered \Flagged \Deleted \Seen \Draft)
OK [PERMANENTFLAGS ()] Read-only mailbox.

I have tried ALOT of different settings (mbox/maildir/acl) but nothing seems
to help, also no error messages are found in any logfiles.
What are the log entries for the telnet login?
...
# 2.2.5: /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf
# OS: Linux 3.10.5-1-ARCH x86_64
[...]
mail_debug = yes
good, then plenty of info should be in the logs, about home directory,
uids etc.pp.
...
mail_full_filesystem_access = yes
mail_location = maildir:~/Maildir
...
passdb {
driver = pam
}
userdb {
driver = passwd
}
You seem to use system users, should be visible in the logs. Do the
directory /Maildir and any file and directory below belong
to the particular user? Do your users have a home directory at all?
Kind regards,
