Mildir != ~ Why are you storing the sieve files in the Maildir? Let your userdb return /home/vmail/%d/%n as home, and ~/.Maildir as mail. If the permissions on the directories are set correctly, everything should work fine.

Thanks I got it working now! Too be honest... I have no idea why I stored them in the Maildir. I just configured it like that. Changed it to /home/vmail/%d/%n/ now. :)

For feature reference, the following change I made to get it working... I configured my server that it gets the information from the database. I have the following set in /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf: mail_location = maildir:/home/vmail/%d/%n/.Maildir # SQL database userdb sql { # Path for SQL configuration file args = /etc/dovecot/dovecot-sql.conf }

In /etc/dovecot/dovecot-sql.conf I had it standing on: user_query =
SELECT uid, gid
FROM users WHERE username = '%u'

I changed this to: user_query =
SELECT home, uid, gid
FROM users WHERE username = '%u'

this made it working. Basically looking back, I can't believe why I removed the check for 'home'. As it clearly was stated in the example as needed.

Should RTFM more often I guess!
