Clarification: Qpopper needs to be able to read/write/delete/create
the file when running as the user, but with group 'mail'. So one way
to permit this is to make the directory group 'mail' and give group
rwx permissions.

Qpopper does this by default, but if you've precreated the
directories, you can tell Qpopper not to check if they exist, which
speeds things up.
