I want to save the mail data in files owned by "mail" so "courier" can read
it.
Maildir and its childs directories are chmod 0775 and exim4 says that:
2005-12-06 18:51:21 1Ejgx9-0003oJ-LV ==
/home/virtual/domain.com/users/webmaster/Maildir/ <webmaster@???>
R=virtual_user T=address_directory defer (13): Permission denied: failed to
open tmp/1133891481.H898685P14672.idf (10 tries)
That users doesn't not exists in the system, they are virtual users.
If I set Maildir and its childs to 0777 exim4 cand write the files but
"courier" can't read them because they are readable only by exim.

I have:
mail_spool:
debug_print = "T: appendfile for $local_part@$domain"
driver = appendfile

As I understand you want exim to create files owned by mail.
Exim has not to run as user mail.
The "user = mail" setting is recognized only if exim can't
figure out what /other/ uid to use.
My guess about what you really want is:
- contents of /home/virtual/user/Maildir should belong to
the corresponding user
so:
- for exim to deliver Maildir and it's subdirs must be writable
- so set group "mail" to them and and make them group writable
- add "group = mail" and "mode = 0660" to your transport
- be careful to have the 'others' executable bit set
on the whole /home/virtual/user/Maildir path
- watch /var/log/exim4/mainlog while testing ;-)
