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. It should be /var/mail/jsmith. If that is the problem, where or how do I change it. Thanks in advance!!

I believe (not sure actually) the answer is in the mail_location variable for Dovecot. This is what I've tried so far:
#mail_location = mbox:~/mail:INBOX=/var/mail/%u#mail_location = maildir:/var/mail/%u/Maildir#mail_location = maildir:~/Maildir:INDEX=/var/mail/%umail_location = maildir:/var/mail/%u/Maildir
What does Dovecot log?Where are your Maildir directories located? What does doveadm user -u username print?
