[Dovecot] Can't receive emails

Hello everyone,

I installed postfix and dovecot (imap + pop) on a debian server.
I can send emails via postfix and I could receive emails via dovecot 
before. Yesterday my server got shutdown and restarted and since then, I 
somehow have some problems.
If I send some emails, I don't receive them in /var/vmail/%d/%n/Maildir
But the login works fine (pop and imap).

How can I figure out, why there are no mails comming?

Thank you
Bye, Chris
