please increase logging, see mail_debug at http://wiki2.dovecot.org/Logging That will reveal, what mail location and inbox is used really.
The maildir on my instance is located in /var/log/mail.
/var/__log__/mail ??
The output of doveadm is as follows: root@speedy:/var/mail# doveadm user -u jsmithuserdb: jsmith system_groups_user: jsmith uid : 1000 gid : 1000 home : /home/jsmith If that home variable is suppose to be the maildir folder it is wrong.
That looks good. About home vs. mail location see http://wiki2.dovecot.org/VirtualUsers/Home (applies to all users) and http://wiki2.dovecot.org/MailLocation
It should be /var/mail/jsmith. If that is the problem, where or how do
Is /var/mail/jsmith a directory or a file?
If it is a directory, use something like:
mail_location = maildir:/var/mail/%n
- -or- mail_location = maildir:/var/mail/%n/Maildir
depending on how the content of the directory looks like.
If it is a file, use
mail_location = maildir:~/Maildir:INBOX=/var/mail/%n
===
How does the userdb section of doveconf -n looks like?
