Very likely a permission thing.

You can do this safely and it might get you going:

root# chown -R mta.mail /var/spool/mailbox

The "-R" means it will effect every file/folder in the directory.

Peeking at how the permissions are set in my mailbox directory revealed 2
different settings and I don't know why but I would be afraid to change
permissions on the entire directory. Here's a sample of what I saw:

drwxr-x---  3 mta  mail  102 Apr  3 21:29 122
drwxrwx---  3 mta  mail  102 May 16 06:17 126
drwxrwx---  3 mta  mail  102 May 16 07:52 148

see the , 750 and 770?

Being you could just trash a destroyed mailbox directory and untar your
original again you could try:

root# chmod -R 770 /var/spool/mailbox
root# chmod 755 /var/spool/mailbox

The above will give you:

drwxrwx---  3 mta  mail  102 May 16 07:52 148
on every file and directory in /var/spool/mailbox
and
drwxr-xr-x  19 mta mail  646 Mar 29 14:23 mailbox

which will make it look pretty much like my working post.office
installation.
