Your IMAP server is somewhat misconfigured. You have two options:
1. fix your server - probably it's running as uid rz2a022 and the
spool directory isn't world writable. Getting UW to run setgid mail is
possible, but a hassle.
2. make mutt ignore the error messages, as 1.1.2 used to do:
unset $imap_servernoise
