I am confused then. /home/vmail/Maildir is 700 for vmail:vmail. If dovecot-lda runs as vmail then there's no problem, if it runs as root it shouldn't face problems either.

That statement is not correct nowadays as UNIX permissions aren't all any longer. There are tools like AppArmor and in your case with Fedora there is SELinux preventing even actions by root user.

Make sure the SELinux context fits. "/home/vmail" and the subfolder "Maildir" has to be SELinux labeled correctly.

ausearch -m avc

How can I determine which user dovecot-lda runs under?

Thanks,
