Hey, I am setting up Dovecot on Debian with Postfix. I am telling Dovecot to use maildir:~/Maildir but it persists in dumping mail in mbox format in /var/mail/username. Can anyone suggest ideas? My config file is attached.

That's most likely because it's your MTA that's doing your local delivery.

My Postfix file is fixed. I am not seeing any references to /var/mail,

Add

home_mailbox = Maildir/

to main.cf.

Or change the defaults for mail location in /etc/login.defs.

Amy!
