Re: [Dovecot] Mail always is delivered to /var/mail/

Is there a way to configure dovecot to work like UW imap? mean mail come to /var/mail/[username] (in mbox format) then while the user connect, the imapd move the email to ~/mbox and serve it from there.

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.

Check your exim/postfix/sendmail/whatever config.
