This is where the fault lies, ive fiddled till I got it working but I never had to specify a writable unique home directory in the past, it just worked. I create users via postfixadmin and tried to specify /var/mail/%u/ as the unique directory but of course it complains that dir doesn't exist then. I would have expected it to create it, itself. That would solve that issue.
I have done all sorts of work arounds now to continue operating without it by using /var/empty and all that , but now my squirrelmail doesn't work like it should anymore.
I had a similar problem at one time. It was due to the fact that Dovecot did not have write permissions on the directory so it could not create it. Perhaps your problem is similar.
