I had this error, it was a problem of mailbox size from procmail+postfix I add this to /etc/postfix/mainc.cf file, in order to set the max size of inbos at 1Go : mailbox_size_limit = 1073741824 virtual_mailbox_limit = 1073741824

I dug deep into the documentation and I think I understand what's happening, but I have no idea what to do about it. I also took a moment and moved the user INBOX files back from /home/mail to /var/mail, so that wouldn't confuse anything.
(My mail_location is set to mail_location: mbox:~/mail:INBOX=/var/mail/%u )
I have two types of users on my system -- those with home directories (set in /etc/passwd) of the form
/home/group/pop/userwho are allowed to access the file system, and
/home/group/./pop/userwho are chrooted to their home directories for things like ftp.
dovecot appears to be working fine with those users without /./ in their password directory fields.
When dovecot gets the user home directory field from PAM, if it sees the /./, it chroots them so that their home directory is /pop/user, and their mail subdirectory is /pop/user/mail.
But I can't see how dovecot would then access their INBOX, which is located outside the chroot in /var/mail/%u.
For example:
dovecot: Jul 13 10:59:13 Info: pop3-login: Login: user=<lda07>, method=PLAIN, rip=70.21.123.223, lip=64.191.213.14 dovecot: Jul 13 10:59:13 Info: POP3(lda07): Effective uid=10578, gid=510 dovecot: Jul 13 10:59:13 Info: POP3(lda07): mbox: data=/pop/lda07/mail:INBOX=/var/mail/lda07 dovecot: Jul 13 10:59:13 Info: POP3(lda07): mbox: root=/pop/lda07/mail, index=/pop/lda07/mail, inbox=/var/mail/lda07 dovecot: Jul 13 10:59:13 Error: POP3(lda07): open(/var/mail/lda07, O_CREAT) failed: No such file or directory dovecot: Jul 13 10:59:13 Error: POP3(lda07): access() failed with mbox file /var/mail/lda07: No such file or directory dovecot: Jul 13 10:59:13 Error: POP3(lda07): stat() failed with mbox file /var/mail/lda07: No such file or directory dovecot: Jul 13 10:59:13 Error: POP3(lda07): Couldn't init INBOX: Internal error occurred.

Any thoughts? Thanks. -Gary
