FYI...

I got this ressponse from the dovecot people (Timo Sirainen <[EMAIL 
PROTECTED]>)...
---
They changed default config file. It used to have mbox_locks = fcntl,  the
new one has also dotlock. Either remove the dotlock or add
mail_extra_groups=mail

and a reference to a specific fix: http://wiki.dovecot.org/VarMailDotLock
---

This is bound to mean something to somebody... but I don't know what
config file they're talking about... i.e. where does the dovecot config
file live? And how do I determine who owns what directory?

Until I figure that out, I went back to dovecot 0.99.11-1 so at least I
can use mail. :-)
