[Dovecot] Dovecot fails to deliver in mail clients
Morning
I am new to linux and have configured a Postfix + Dovecot Mail server on my SUSE Linux Server 10 SP2 Machine. Postfix works fine I assume as mail gets delivered to user's mailbox or directories. But when I configure a mail client to download mail from the server it finds no mail. When I check the user's mailbox using Webmin mail is delivered.
I have also tried to telnet to the server when I do I am able to log in with user's credentials but when I type the list or stat command telnet says there is no mail 0.0Kb. I have tried everything, mail gets delivered to inboxes but telnet and mail clients don't get mail.
Please let me know what I am doing wrong

Where are your user's mailbox or directories on the file system?
Show us the output from dovecot -n.

Webmin can access the mailstore directly, so your dovecot is configured wrong.
