that's correct for your case
So I seem to have no mails in the inbox... so I check the dovecot log for the where it thinks it should be looking for the mail
Sep 19 07:37:59 imap-login: Info: Login: user=websales@exsportee.biz, method=PLAIN, rip=85.170.90.200, lip=92.39.247.92, mpid=26570, TLS, session=<Cf4uLmYDlgBVqlrI> Sep 19 07:37:59 imap(websales@exsportee.biz): Debug: Effective uid=1002, gid=1002, home=/var/mail/virtual/exsportee.biz/websales Sep 19 07:37:59 imap(websales@exsportee.biz): Debug: Namespace inbox: type=private, prefix=, sep=, inbox=yes, hidden=no, list=yes, subscriptions=yes location=maildir:~/mail/: Sep 19 07:37:59 imap(websales@exsportee.biz): Debug: maildir++: root=/var/mail/virtual/exsportee.biz/websales/mail, index=, control=, inbox=/var/mail/virtual/exsportee.biz/websales/mail, alt=
So I can see that the directories that Dovecot is looking at are: home=/var/mail/virtual/exsportee.biz/websales location=maildir:~/mail/
So if I understand, dovecot is looking at [ /var/mail/virtual/exsportee.biz/websales/mail/ ] for my mail. When I run a listing of the directory I get the following....
# ls -al /var/mail/virtual/exsportee.biz/websales/mail/ total 44 drwx--S--- 5 vmail vmail 4096 Sep 18 12:46 . drwxr-sr-x 3 vmail vmail 4096 Sep 18 12:00 .. drwx--S--- 2 vmail vmail 4096 Sep 18 12:17 cur -rw------- 1 vmail vmail 248 Sep 18 12:23 dovecot.index.log -rw------- 1 vmail vmail 51 Sep 18 12:23 dovecot-uidlist -rw------- 1 vmail vmail 8 Sep 18 12:17 dovecot-uidvalidity -r--r--r-- 1 vmail vmail 0 Sep 18 12:17 dovecot-uidvalidity.541acd49 drwx--S--- 2 vmail vmail 4096 Sep 18 12:17 new -rw------- 1 vmail vmail 561 Sep 18 12:22 q1XUaj8-5382575 -rw------- 1 vmail vmail 517 Sep 18 12:00 q1XUaOD-5382570 -rw------- 1 vmail vmail 513 Sep 18 12:46 q1XUb60-5382584 drwx--S--- 2 vmail vmail 4096 Sep 18 12:17 tmp
the 3 files q1xu[....] are test mails that I sent to myself, either internally from the localhost CLI, mutt or from my google mail account. I should note the following: ~ SWAKS can send mails out to external addresses also. ~ I cannot connect to my mail from any external clients (thunderbird) ~ I cannot connect to my mail localy using MUTT ~ I use exim4 (v4.7.2) as my MTA (if you want to see a config just ask).
The files q1.. belong to ~/mail/new/ . Exim does not spool them as Maildir. I would recommend to use Dovecot LDA or LMTP.
