This should be simple, but I'm missing something. My virtual users cannot access their mail.
I would like Unix users to get their mail via imap which is deposited in /var/spool/mail/username. (This works.)
I would like virtual users to get their mail via pop3 which is deposited in /var/spool/mail/vhosts/example.com/auser/mail/inbox (postfix does in fact put the mail there). Those users can get authenticated via file /var/dovecot/passwd, but cannot retrieve their mail.
The log message is shown below. The file/directory is there, but doesn't dovecot see it?
Thanks,
Wendell
