In your configuration, dovecot uses whatever user/group returned by PAM. Since the webuser has never logged in, it has no directory under /var/mail. If you want, you can 

a) override mail_uid and mail_gid in userdb/passdb
b) pre-create /var/mail/webuser and chown it to webuser:ftpusers
c) you can let ftpusers write to /var/mail.
