I did some troubleshooting and I don't understand where the MKDIR(/VAR/WWW/MAIL) is coming from. Mailboxes are in /var/mail and

^^ /var/mail contains the INBOX only

sending/receiving emails is working as it always did.

mail_location is still setup to be MAIL_LOCATION = MBOX:~/MAIL:INBOX=/VAR/MAIL/%U

Everything else is in ~/MAIL (why uppercase?)

Why is it trying a mkdir in /var/www?

Because most likely /var/www is the home directory of www-data and you've configured to use $HOME/MAIL as base directory, which is /var/www/mail

I don't know where the uppercase is coming from. In the email I've sent its lower case.

How can I fix that without changing permissions of /var/www? Where is $HOME/MAIL configured? Why do I get this error now for the first time, when there was no change to the system configuration?
