Installed dovecot.
Got the following error:
==========
/etc/rc2.d/S21dovecot start
Starting mail server: dovecotWarning: Corrected permissions for login 
directory /var/run/dovecot/login
==========

Now nobody can check their mail if a new message has arrived:

The error in /var/log/mail.log is:

Jun  9 18:35:37 mail1 pop3(chavdar): open(/var/mail/chavdar.lock) failed: 
Permission denied
Jun  9 18:35:37 mail1 pop3(chavdar): file_lock_dotlock() failed with mbox 
file /var/mail/chavdar: Permission denied


So far the permissions of all mboxes in /var/mail were

-rw-------  1 trade1          root   1768928 Jun  8 19:20 trade1
-rw-------  1 trade2          root   5585155 Jun  7 09:21 trade2
-rw-------  1 trade3          root   1733158 Feb 25 14:44 trade3

Is it the problem. It worked so far. Will receiving mail break if I reset 
ownership to root.root
