I've got a new Dovecot error (well, new to me, at least)!
I ran tail /var/log/mail.err and got the following:
net_connect_unix(/var/run/dovecot/stats-writer) failed: Permission denied
I checked the file, and it's owned by www-data and the www-data group, with read and write permissions for owner and group... just like I have specified in /etc/dovecot/conf.d/10-master.conf. I can't understand why permission is denied when the file permissions appear to be correct. Can anyone shed any light on this for me?
Ubuntu 20.04 Dovecot 2.3.7.2

www-data? Why?
Anyways, this is a known issue, use
service stats { unix_listener stats-writer { mode = 0666 } }
to work around it. don't set ownership on it.
