I applied the change referenced above to 1.2.9 
src/lib-storage/index/mbox/mbox-file.c

I continued to get the errors.

I then expanded the error message output for all calls to utime() in all 
files in src/lib-storage/index/mbox
and found the errors were coming from mbox-save.d and mbox-sync.c

Note the errors are only occuring when copying/moving a message into a 
public box owned by someone else even though the box and both users are 
part of the same group.

I can modify the calls to utime() in mbox-save.c and mbox-sync.c to 
ignore the EPERM errors
but I first wanted to verify that was reasonable.

Please let me know if I should proceed with those changes or if there is 
a better solution.

Thanks for all you help
