[Dovecot] Confusion

[Alejandro Martinez]

Hi, I have a great confusion about mbox, maildir.
I use a passwd-file to authenticate users, because I want to use non local users.

I have a test user in that file that is this:
test:VGRAafc3NHJwI:502:100:Usuario Virtual:/var/spool/mail/virtual/test:/no/shell

I create inside /var/spool/mail/virtual/test a folder Maildir and inside Maildir
/var/spool/mail/virtual/test/Maildir/cur/
/var/spool/mail/virtual/test/Maildir/new/
/var/spool/mail/virtual/test/Maildir/tmp/

I get an error when I login to the server

admin at slk90 /$ telnet localhost 143
Trying 127.0.0.1...
Connected to localhost.localdomain.
Escape character is '^]'.
* OK dovecot ready.
. login test test
. OK Logged in.
Connection closed by foreign host.


The /var/spool/mail/error is this

 "Aug  2 08:46:46 slk90 imap(test): Failed to create storage with data: /var/spool/mail/virtual/test/Maildir"

I've tried setting default_mail_env = maildir:~/Maildir and mbox:~/Maildir, but nothing work.

Any help ?
Regards.
