This is what the directory currently looks like:

mark at proliant-1:~$ ls -la /mpool/mail
total 6
drwxrwxrwx+ 3 root root  3 2013-11-24 17:17 .
drwxr-xr-x+ 5 root root  5 2013-11-24 13:50 ..
drwxrwxrwx+ 5 mark staff 9 2013-11-24 22:20 mark

mark at proliant-1:~$ ls -la /mpool/mail/mark/
total 14
drwxrwxrwx+ 5 mark staff  9 2013-11-24 22:20 .
drwxrwxrwx+ 3 root root   3 2013-11-24 17:17 ..
drwxrwxrwx+ 2 mark staff  2 2013-11-24 17:17 cur
-rwxrwxrwx+ 1 mark staff 51 2013-11-24 22:20 dovecot-uidlist.tmp
-rwxrwxrwx+ 1 mark staff  8 2013-11-24 22:20 dovecot-uidvalidity
-rwxrwxrwx+ 1 mark staff  0 2013-11-24 17:17 dovecot-uidvalidity.529234ad
-rwxrwxrwx+ 1 mark staff 40 2013-11-24 22:20 dovecot.index.log.newlock
drwxrwxrwx+ 2 mark staff  2 2013-11-24 17:17 new
drwxrwxrwx+ 2 mark staff  3 2013-11-24 17:21 tmp

Given dovecot created /mpool/mail/mark/ then Id have assumed it did it right,
but maybe not.
