You need to make the mailbox (regardless of format) writeable by the
user that postfix executes delivery as. I recommend using maildir
over mbox, but that has nothing to do with your permissions issue.
From local(8) :
DELIVERY RIGHTS
Deliveries to external files and external commands are made with the
rights of the receiving user on whose behalf the delivery is made. In
the absence of a user context, the local daemon uses the owner rights
of the :include: file or alias database. When those files are owned by
the superuser, delivery is made with the rights specified with the
default_privs configuration parameter.
