Hope someone can help me with this as I am presently stuck

I am setting up a new server with Dovecot 0.99.10, Redhat 9.0, Postfix, Amavisd-new and maildir's in the users home drive. I am using Netscape mail 7.1 as the main client to access the mail store via imap which works fine and various other imap clients can access the maildirs Ok as well. 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. The Maildir's are being created automatically ie. I didn't use maildirmake. Even if I delete one of the Maildir's it just gets recreated again. 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

This is the Maildir that the clients are using and being accessed by Dovecot

drwx------ 10 test2 test2 4096 Aug 23 20:53 . drwx------ 4 test2 test2 4096 Aug 24 11:05 .. drwx------ 2 test2 test2 4096 Aug 23 19:58 cur -rw------- 1 test2 test2 5 Aug 23 19:58 .customflags drwx------ 5 test2 test2 4096 Aug 23 19:59 .Drafts drwx------ 2 test2 test2 4096 Aug 23 19:58 .INBOX drwx------ 2 test2 test2 4096 Aug 23 19:58 new drwx------ 5 test2 test2 4096 Aug 23 20:15 .Sent -rw------- 1 test2 test2 29 Aug 23 20:13 .subscriptions drwx------ 5 test2 test2 4096 Aug 23 20:11 .test drwx------ 2 test2 test2 4096 Aug 23 19:58 tmp drwx------ 5 test2 test2 4096 Aug 23 20:11 .Trash

and the other one which Postfix user's

drwx------ 6 test2 test2 4096 Aug 24 11:05 . drwx------ 4 test2 test2 4096 Aug 24 11:05 .. drwx------ 2 test2 test2 4096 Aug 24 11:05 cur -rw------- 1 test2 test2 5 Aug 24 11:05 .customflags drwx------ 2 test2 test2 4096 Aug 24 11:05 .INBOX drwx------ 2 test2 test2 4096 Aug 24 11:05 new drwx------ 2 test2 test2 4096 Aug 24 11:05 tmp

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

Hope this make sense to someone

Steve
