I am lost as to what I am missing. I am setting up dovecot 2.0.9 on a RHEL 6.4 machine as provided by my provider. I have IMAP up and running, and I have POP3 up and running. Testing confirms this. Also, if it makes a difference, I enabled dovecot as my LDA. Sendmail was setup as well due to our 1.x version using it and I though I had to. Anyway, everything is working perfectly with the services, except the mail is sending to the wrong location for POP. I am trying to use Maildir for both services, but it keeps delivering the POP3 mail to /var/spool/mail/u% instead of to Maildir as specified in the configuration files. I have rechecked every setting at least twice and still can't see what I am doing wrong. I suppose I can use mbox and redirect after making the appropriate namespace changes, but that has it's own potential drawbacks and seems more like a kludge than the correct way around this (unless I misunderstand how it should work). Can anyone point me in the right direction on how to fix this?

Thanks in advance,

it's a lovely day here, but you must be far away and bad weather in between us, as my ESP doesnt seem to get through, so we'll have to revert to the old manual hard labour way by you executing doveconf -n , copy and pasting that output into a list reply.
