Thank you for your reply.
They are different groups:

drwxr-xr-x 9 user1 grp1 4096 15 ott 14:52 /home/user1/MailDir/
drwxr-xr-x 5 user2 grp2 4096  4 ott 23:43 /home/user2/MailDir/
drwxr-xr-x 10 user3 grp3 4096 15 ott 14:52 /home/user3/MailDir/

I tryed to issue:
chgrp -R mail /home/user1/MailDir
chgrp -R mail /home/user2/MailDir
chgrp -R mail /home/user3/MailDir

but nothing changed.

Any idea?
Thank you.
