Thanks for your suggestion.

Some days ago, I really was double checked this problem, permissions
of all path (/var/spool/mail/user), and I can't find the solution.

So, I've compiled from source, using standalone and without any path.
And works very well :-)

So, I've opened a bug in Mandriva Bugzilla, please, look at this link
maybe you can say some thing about... some patch that don't work with
Mailbox (only Maildir)...

Thanks!
