I agree. The default should be 0600. But users should be able to change
it.

Please don't take me wrong - I fully agree on default of 0600 for all
created files (undoubtely mboxes). Yet even in my simple scenario
(mutt got its own user profile) I need to be able to process stored
attachments by other users (separate user for libreoffice, separate
user for image viewer,...). Manually calling chmod *each and every
time* is even more security-error-prone than being able to set umask
once for time being.

If you upload your address book to "the cloud", I don't want to be in it.
