That may present a problem, Timo, as postfix's "local" LDA wants  
exclusivity on the files in /var/mail.

May 16 08:34:11 G518X2 postfix/local[26583]: 7E613630295:  
to=<me at example.com>, orig_to=<me at example.com>, relay=local,  
delay=581, status=deferred (cannot access mailbox /var/mail/bb for  
user bb. unable to lock for exclusive access: Resource temporarily  
unavailable)

I realize that the intent here is to have Dovecot's LDA replace  
Postfix's but it would seem logical if their behaviors (and  
expectations regarding directories) were in sync.
