Here are the permissions:

8 drwxr-xr-x   26 root root  4096 Oct 12 09:10 var
8 drwxr-xr-x  29 root    root     4096 Oct 13 10:32 lib
8 drwxr-x---  14 cyrus     mail    4096 Oct 13 13:09 imap
8 drwxr-x---   2 cyrus mail 4096 Oct 12 09:09 socket

I tried a:
usermod -G mail postfix

but that didnt help, do i need write permissions for the socket dir for 
the mail group also?

Its not chrooted:

#=====================================================================
# service type  private unpriv  chroot  wakeup  maxproc command + args
#               (yes)   (yes)   (yes)   (never) (100)
#=====================================================================
lmtp      unix  -       -       n       -       -       lmtp
