Hmm. Actually with deliver the mail_extra_groups doesn't work. So I
think you have two possibilities:

1. Set /var/mail sticky
2. Don't use dotlocks (but if you use other programs to access the
mboxes make sure they don't break)

Set dovecot user back to its own group.

I set /var/mail to sticky...

drwxrwxr-t   10 root    mail     340 May 16 08:11 mail

Still get this:

May 16 08:11:31 G518X2 deliver(bb): open(/var/mail/bb.lock) failed: Permission denied May 16 08:11:31 G518X2 deliver(bb): file_lock_dotlock() failed with mbox file /var/mail/bb: Permission denied May 16 08:11:31 G518X2 deliver(bb): msgid=<[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: save failed to INBOX May 16 08:11:31 G518X2 deliver(bb): open(/var/mail/bb.lock) failed: Permission denied May 16 08:11:31 G518X2 deliver(bb): file_lock_dotlock() failed with mbox file /var/mail/bb: Permission denied
