Sorry for the top post.
Looks like you have a permission problem on the mailbox directory. Do you have SELinux enabled? Do you use extended ACLs on your filesystem? If you are not using both features, then try o+rx permission on the full path that contains your mailboxes, eg. /, /home, /home/example.com, /home/example.com/user.
