That is correct. The POP protocol is designed to delete the messages
from the server once they have been POPPED. The IMAP protocol is
designed to leave the message

Hello,
while installing Dovecot sieve, I am not able to deliver email for root. The
strange thing is,
that mails to ordinary users get delivered. And no, I do not use virtual mail,
just ordinary
unix accounts with an entry to passwd / shadow.

So I have recently set up dovecot with a virtual users dovecot.passdb
file, but when I attempt to telnet in, it fails because my virtual
users don't have proper permissions to create mailboxes.
I don't want to have to create actual users for each email account.
Any idea as to what to do?

Maybe the specific command wasn't correct, but the "give it enough permissions"
idea will work. If you upgrade to v1.2, it'll tell exactly what permission is
missing and that could help figuring out what you need to change.

Not really. mail_access_groups could give some extra security when combined
