That's fine for a machine that doesn't have any other accounts on it, but
that's probably not what you want.

Dovecot will run as you when doing mail things, so it's actually okay for
all the files and directories under there to gw-rwx.  If it created that
tree, I don't see why it would do something like that.

Still, that doesn't explain why it can't drop a lockfile.
