FC normally makes /var/mail a symbolic link to /var/spool/mail. With
the -stable version I specified /var/spool/mail in my
default_mail_env, and chmod'ed /var/spool/mail to 1777 (although with
the extra_groups setting you could reduce that with the correct group
ownership).
Are you running with SELinux enabled? (If so, did you update the
policy for Dovecot?)
I can't explain why it worked in your initial tests though.
