[Dovecot] Cannot use userdb to update Maildir

[Albert E. Whale]

I cannot get to the Maildir info for a user.  The user's user_db is set
up in /home/dovecot.passwd.

Here is the transcript of the pop3 connection:

Oct 28 14:56:04 ns6 dovecot: auth(default): client in:
AUTH^I1^IPLAIN^Iservice=pop3^Ilip=66.207.133.228^Irip=71.162.15.2^Ilport=110^Irport=1874^Iresp=<hidden>
Oct 28 14:56:04 ns6 dovecot: auth(default): client out: CONT^I1^I
Oct 28 14:56:04 ns6 dovecot: auth(default): client in: CONT<hidden>
Oct 28 14:56:04 ns6 dovecot: auth(default):
passwd-file(health,71.162.15.2): lookup: user=health
file=/home/dovecot.passwd
Oct 28 14:56:04 ns6 dovecot: auth(default): client out: OK^I1^Iuser=health
Oct 28 14:56:04 ns6 dovecot: auth(default): master in: REQUEST^I354^I7953^I1
Oct 28 14:56:04 ns6 dovecot: auth(default):
passwd-file(health,71.162.15.2): lookup: user=health
file=/home/dovecot.passwd
Oct 28 14:56:04 ns6 dovecot: auth(default): master out:
USER^I354^Ihealth^Iuid=1152^Igid=1152^Ihome=userdb_mail=maildir
Oct 28 14:56:04 ns6 dovecot: pop3-login: Login: user=<health>,

Oct 28 14:56:04 ns6 dovecot: POP3(health): Effective uid=1152, gid=1152
Oct 28 14:56:04 ns6 dovecot: POP3(health): mbox:
data=~/mail:INBOX=/var/spool/mail/health
Oct 28 14:56:04 ns6 dovecot: POP3(health): fs:
root=userdb_mail=maildir/mail, index=, control=,
inbox=/var/spool/mail/health
Oct 28 14:56:05 ns6 dovecot: auth(default): new auth connection: pid=8987
Oct 28 14:56:06 ns6 dovecot: POP3(health): Disconnected: Logged out
top=0/0, retr=0/0, del=0/0, size=0


The /home/dovecot.passwd has the following.

 more /home/dovecot.passwd
health:$1$MCtvt/Tz$FmKqU/cbWlBhKnhc5W.Ko.:1152:1152:/home/health:userdb_mail=mai
ldir:~/Maildir


WHY can I get the emails from ~health/Maildir/new ???
