The user that dovecot is running as doesn't have permission to write to /var/mail/, check permissions on that directory M.

Any ideas?I use to get these error messages all the time to. Try changing the file permissions to '1777' on the directory and seeing if that works. If it does, you can try working backwards with the directory permissions until it fails again. That will help establish the minimum permissions required on the directory for dovecot to operate.
