Hi, I have a great confusion about mbox, maildir. I use a passwd-file to authenticate users, because I want to use non local users.

I have a test user in that file that is this: test:VGRAafc3NHJwI:502:100:Usuario Virtual:/var/spool/mail/virtual/test:/no/shell

I create inside /var/spool/mail/virtual/test a folder Maildir and inside Maildir /var/spool/mail/virtual/test/Maildir/cur/ /var/spool/mail/virtual/test/Maildir/new/ /var/spool/mail/virtual/test/Maildir/tmp/

I get an error when I login to the server

admin@slk90 /$ telnet localhost 143 Trying 127.0.0.1... Connected to localhost.localdomain. Escape character is '^]'.

• OK dovecot ready. . login test test . OK Logged in. Connection closed by foreign host.

The /var/spool/mail/error is this

"Aug 2 08:46:46 slk90 imap(test): Failed to create storage with data: /var/spool/mail/virtual/test/Maildir"

I've tried setting default_mail_env = maildir:~/Maildir and mbox:~/Maildir, but nothing work.

Any help ? Regards.
