[Dovecot] dovecot - postgresql ERR No INBOX for user.

[David Bain]

I've setup dovecot to authenticate against postgresql.

But I consistently get a "No INBOX for user" error when I try to do pop
requests.

Any pointers would be helpful.

Postfix deposits mails in maildirs in the format
/var/spool/virtual_mailboxes/{domain}/{username}/

below is the result of a telnet test (altered slightly of course, but gives
the idea)

 telnet localhost 110
Trying 127.0.0.1...
Connected to localhost.localdomain (127.0.0.1).
Escape character is '^]'.
+OK dovecot ready.
USER personx at myxdomxain.net
+OK

+OK Logged in.
-ERR No INBOX for user.
