You have to make it world-writable also. I'll update the wiki to mention
that too.

That may present a problem, Timo, as postfix's "local" LDA wants exclusivity on the files in /var/mail.

May 16 08:34:11 G518X2 postfix/local[26583]: 7E613630295: to=<[EMAIL PROTECTED]>, orig_to=<[EMAIL PROTECTED]>, relay=local, delay=581, status=deferred (cannot access mailbox /var/mail/bb for user bb. unable to lock for exclusive access: Resource temporarily unavailable)

I realize that the intent here is to have Dovecot's LDA replace Postfix's but it would seem logical if their behaviors (and expectations regarding directories) were in sync.
