Dovecot was not able to access the /var/mail folder on a fresh 16.04 installation without this.

This PR would change the default behaviour on EL boxes, where /var/mail is chmod 775 and chown root:mail - if it's needed to fix Ubuntu, probably need to wrap it in an OS-specific conditional statement.

Other consideration is whether Ubuntu expects Dovecot to run as a different user or to use a different directory? It may be that we need to change the templates a bit when running on Ubuntu OS.

Agree, I will try to check if I can build something smarter.

I don't have a EL box to test it on my side, you are saying that it has chmod 755, but does it have the sticky bit?
