The group depends on process, usually dovecot uses four different identities:
root, dovecot:dovecot, dovenull:dovenull and vmail:vmail (or per-user identity).
Any extra groups are removed during execution, but if you want, you can use
https://doc.dovecot.org/configuration_manual/service_configuration/#extra-gr...
like
service imap { ... extra_groups = users }
to grant the process users membership during execution.

Thanks Aki, with this info I solved it. I didn't get to the bottom of which process needed the extra_groups attribute, but changing the files group ownership to dovecot was just as good.
