I think the cause is clear enough: you (user=md5i/uid=1000) are not part of group mail (gid=8), so the dovecot user process doing things on your behalf cannot create index files that are anlogous to the mailbox it's indexing.
You can either
1) add "md5i" to group mail
2) remove g+w permission on your mail files (making group
membership irrelevant)
3) fiddle with "mail_privileged_group = mail", but I'm a little
hazy on all the ramifications of this.
I don't know your particular circumstances, so I don't know which is best. If (big if) nothing on your system (particularly the MTA) requires access to your mail spool files by running as group=mail, probably 2) is your best option.
