Stuff like /var/spool/mail/<user>  is  however accessible.

Most things in /var is ACCESSIBLE.  The same user that could not link
the file had no problems copying it.

I was under the impression that user_u was not meant to be overly
restricted.  It should not be able to do su/sudo and other kinds of
system work.  But apart from that I thought it was meant to be able to
do most things regular users on non-SELinux systems can do.

That was the impression I got from
http://docs.fedoraproject.org/selinux-user-guide/f10/en-US/sect-Security-Enhanced_Linux-Targeted_Policy-Confined_and_Unconfined_Users.html
among other places.  But maybe I have misunderstood things.

Yes user_u is not that restrictive, but the idea is a managed user. I would tend to think of user who does few commands with the shell. But please attach the avc's you are seeing? The directory in question might need a different label.
