Using the latest RPM (dovecot-0.99.10.5) on Fedora Core 2. I connected to the server by POP3 for a user who'd not yet received email (ever) so she didn't have a spool file in /var/spool/mail, and dovecot was failing on login.
I just tested it by removing my own mailbox and see this in maillog:
pop3-login: Login: ken [127.0.0.1] pop3(ken): stat() failed with mbox file /var/spool/mail/ken: No such file or directory
Hmm. What do you have in default_mail_env setting? That file should be created automatically, and I couldn't get it to break myself.
Or actually, does the user have access to create new files in /var/spool/mail? Looks like Dovecot doesn't complain if it can't create it. I'll change that.
