Hi, thank you for the speedy reply... original /var/spool/mail permission:
drwxr-xr-x 3 root root 12288 Jan 5 14:31 mail
change to:
drwxr-xr-x 3 root mail 12288 Jan 5 14:31 mail
That didn't help...
then changed to:
drwxrwxr-x 3 root mail 12288 Jan 5 14:31 mail It works now. Will I have a security issue here? Please advice..

My current /var/spool/mail is -rw-rw---- 1 jane mail Jan 5 15:51 /var/spool/mail/jane
What about the /var/spool/mail directory's permissions?
from this reference http://wiki.dovecot.org/MailboxFormat/mbox I've added mail_privileged_group = mail
I think this should have helped, but only if the /var/spool/mail directory's group is "mail".
I also did the chmod +t /var/spool/mail
This alone doesn't really do anything. But if the group thing doesn't seem to work you can at least do:
chmod 01777 /var/spool/mail
