Normally you'd save the mail with the ownership of the user ($local_part)
and group mail. Set access to 660 so the owner and group mail can access it.
The imap daemon should change uid to the user who authenticated, so that it
becomes the owner of the files and can access them.
In the local delivery transport use:
group = mail
user = $local_part
mode = 660
(I think the default for appendfile is to run as the recipient user, but it
won't hurt to be specific).
