[Dovecot] missing +r perm:

The permissions are:
-rw------- 1 root root 7609 2011-07-05
16:06 /home/dlambert/Maildir/cur/msg.COmK:2,ST

The same as another mail machine we have up (making a transition)

I'm not sure who to find out who dovecot is running as:
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 217240 2011-06-07 00:03 /usr/sbin/dovecot
root maybe?

Thanks so far
