[Dovecot] postfix and dovecot - no emails in new folder
Hi.
I am working on setting up Dovecot v2.0.9 and postfix 2.6.6 on centos 6.4. I have postfix configured with dovecot using virtual users. Everything seems to be working with the exception of no emails being delivered to the Maildir/new folder. If I touch a file into that folder then the file gets delivered to the email client using imap.
I can also send email from the client with no problems. In fact if I look at the logs postfix says the email was delivered to the mailbox.
postfix/virtual[27270]: 8652F35C38A8: to=user@domain.tld, relay=virtual, delay=0.11, delays=0.1/0.01/0/0, dsn=2.0.0, status=sent (delivered to mailbox)$
Here is my dovecot -n output
*doveconf: Warning: NOTE: You can get a new clean config file with: doveconf -n > dovecot-new.conf** **doveconf: Warning: Obsolete setting in /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf:85: protocol { ssl_listen } has been replaced by service { inet_listener { address } }** **# OS: Linux 2.6.32-042stab079.6 x86_64 CentOS release 6.4 (Final) reiserfs** **auth_mechanisms = plain login** **default_login_user = vmail** **first_valid_gid = 5000** **first_valid_uid = 5000** **listen = *** **mail_access_groups = vmail** **mail_location = maildir:/var/vmail/%d/%u/Maildir** **mbox_write_locks = fcntl** **passdb {** ** args = scheme=SHA1 /etc/dovecot/passwd** ** driver = passwd-file** **}** **protocols = imap pop3** **service auth {** ** unix_listener auth-client {** ** group = postfix** ** mode = 0660** ** user = postfix** ** }** ** user = root** **}** **service imap-login {** ** inet_listener imaps {** ** address = *** ** }** ** process_min_avail = 1** ** user = vmail** **}** **service pop3-login {** ** inet_listener pop3s {** ** address = *** ** }** **}** **ssl_cert = **ssl_key = **userdb {** ** args = uid=5000 gid=5000 home=/var/vmail/%d/%u allow_all_users=yes** ** driver = static** **}*
Any thoughts?

Are you sure, postfix delivers to the maildir of Dovecot? I would reconfigure Postfix to use Dovecot LDA or LMTP.

Yes. I am logged in as root and performing a ls -la /var/vmail/domain I see the following
folder - user - This file actually contains the emails sent to the account
folder - user@domain.tld - and in the Maildir folder I see the following cd into user@domain.tld/Maildir ls cur dovecot-uidlist dovecot-uidvalidity dovecot-uidvalidity.528f6c45 dovecot.index.log new tmp
The cur/tmp and new folders are empty. I have tried multiple accounts with the same results.
If this can't be resolved then I will take your device and try another dovecot method

So postfix and Dovecot disagree about the mail storage of the accounts, either:
reconfigure postfix to deliver message to Maildir in /var/vmail/domain/user@domain.tld, or
reconfigure postfix to use Dovecot LDA or LMTP, or
reconfigure Dovecot to use mbox:/var/vmail/domain/user as INBOX, but /var/vmail/domain/user@domain.tld/Maildir for mail home.

You probably need to set dovecot as the Local Delivery Agent, like so:
$ grep mailbox /etc/postfix/main.cf
mailbox_command = /usr/lib/dovecot/deliver25.11.2013 09:00, Kai Hendry:

I would consider making postfix "talk" to dovecot using LMTP instead.
