default_mail_env = maildir:/home/%u/Maildir

If I have read the maillog file a bit more closely I should have picked that up.

Anyway thanks again

The problem is when Postfix delivers a message is insists on making a 
second Maildir directory in the user's home drive and put the message in 
there.
    

ie. this is the test user's home drive

drwx------   10 test2    test2        4096 Aug 23 20:53 Maildir
drwx------    6 test2    test2        4096 Aug 24 11:05 Maildir

    

You may have a space on the end, or dovecot is reading the <CR>.

  

This one has no index files and looks just like a courier Maildir

For Postfix main.cf I have set
home_mailbox = Maildir/
and
/etc/dovecot.conf
default_mail_env = maildir:/home/%u/Maildir
    

Put a / after the Maildir, as you have in postfix, and make sure you
have no spaces.

I could be wrong.
