I think the main question is, why do you have/want a read-only maildir?
By definition a maildir is constantly changing. In your case, dovecot was trying to class a new e-mail as "read", hence the move from "new" to "cur." Other ways in which a maildir changes, is the changing of the message size (S=... flag in the filename), and adding new flags to the end of a message, as well as the obvious moving messages between folders etc.
If you want to stop certain people from changing things in the maildir, you need to be looking at ACLs rather than file-system permissions.

Hello All,
I have been still struggling with the read only maildir and I think I found something: dovecot wants to rename a file but I/it have/has no rights to do that: dovecot: 2007-05-04 21:30:14 Error: IMAP(bela):
rename(/home/store/oldmails/.personal/cur/1154939281.00005.pc1.S=1879:2,S, /home/store/oldmails/.personal/new/1178307014.P8610Q0M347618.pc1) failed: Permission denied
Why dovecot wants to rename it? It is really a read only directory.
