The group depends on process, usually dovecot uses four different identities:

root, dovecot:dovecot, dovenull:dovenull and vmail:vmail (or per-user identity).

Any extra groups are removed during execution, but if you want, you can use

https://doc.dovecot.org/configuration_manual/service_configuration/#extra-groups

like

service imap {
   ...
   extra_groups = users
}

to grant the process users membership during execution.

Thanks Aki, with this info I solved it. I didn't get to the bottom of which process needed the extra_groups attribute, but changing the files group ownership to dovecot was just as good.
