 Standard settings don't allow dovecot to manage /var/mail/ and it goes bonkers because of that. It shows this with the following error in /var/log/syslog. Change the configuration of dovecot to use the mail group for accessing the mail spool.

 === Test run ===
-The test run didn't pan out that well. It's better to just start the daemon in regular mode. But having acute logging open of /var/log/syslog and /var/log/mail.log via "tail -f" I observed what happened. Like for instance my mail being downloaded and then disappearing. Exim deemed the culprit in this case. It had a limit of only 10 new entries per delivery. Nice for a big site, but worthless for a small site like mine. So adapt the setting for Exim. Figuring this out is deemed out of scope for this article.
