Well, that's not what I asked you to try...

try

mail_home=/var/spool/mail/%u
mail_location=mdbox:~/

I have to correct myself. I tested with sdbox now too, and it seems that
using

mail_location=sdbox:~/Mail

produces the expected behaviour. mdbox uses same code as sdbox for this,
so it should work fine.

I use mdbox not maildir:

      mail_location = mdbox:/var/spool/mail/%u

Do you have

mail_location=maildir:~/mail

or

mail_location = maildir:/path/to/whatever/%u

I tested with latest 2.2 that if I use /path/to, I get correct
permissions.

I would expect same permissions as for root mail directory 02770:
       drwxrws--- 5 newuser mail 4096 Apr 23 19:31
/var/spool/mail/newuser/

Using Dovecot 2.2.34

Hello,

the wiki page describe that permission should copied from root mail
directory
        https://wiki2.dovecot.org/SharedMailboxes/Permissions

The permissions for the root mail directory are set to 2770:
        drwxrws--- 36 root mail 4096 Apr 15 02:30 /var/spool/mail/

But newly created mailboxes get following permissions:
        drwx--S--- 5 newuser mail 4096 Apr 23 19:31
/var/spool/mail/newuser/

In /etc/dovecot/conf.d/10-mail.conf follow options are set:
        mail_gid = mail
        mail_privileged_group = mail
        mail_access_groups = mail

I'm missing something to get right group permissions for new
mailboxes?

What permissions were you expecting? Also, which version of dovecot
are
you running?
