Thanks for the suggestion,
That's a good idea, but unfortunately where the home directories lie, the users actually need to be members of 2 groups - so they both can't be primary.
However, it seems odd to me that Dovecot would REQUIRE access to the $HOME directory, when I am only using it to pop mail from /var/mail (which it has full access to) - and I am not using imap access at all.

My home directories are set up with 770 permissions as follows:

Using this method, users MUST be a member of the appropriate group to access their own home directory. If they are not, they can't chdir
past /home.
Could the group be the user's primary group? Then it works. Otherwise
there's not much else you can do except modify the sources.
