If /var/spool/mail is writeable, you really want to set
the sticky bit, and make sure that no spool mail folders
ever get removed. I'd suggest you rather go with your
system's default configuration, which is most likely mode
775, with /var/spool/mail having the group ownership set
to mail.
In this case, you can fix the problem by adjusting the
mutt_dotlock binary's mode on your system (most likely,
that's /usr/local/bin/mutt_dotlock):
chgrp mail /usr/local/bin/mutt_dotlock
chmod g+s /usr/local/bin/mutt_dotlock
Hope this helps.
