were you able to detect anything? I am still stuck with the problem.
Well, strace says what Dovecot also says:
5598  chdir("/home/vmail/example.com/john") = -1 EACCES (Permission  
denied)
I can't really give any more suggestions. It should either be a  
directory permission problem somewhere or SELinux or something. You  
could maybe temporarily try installing v1.2 and see what it logs as  
the error. It should tell what exactly is missing.
SELinux is not installed, and since dovecot is able to write to the concerned
directory when delivering mail, I do not think it is a permission problem. I
think the error message is somehow wrong - I will install v1.2 and try again.
