Set mail_debug=yes. It'll show where Dovecot is looking for the mail.

The "maildir" doesn't do anything. Dovecot doesn't look for "maildir"
field.

Also the maildir is relative to some other directory apparently? That's
not going to work. Perhaps you want something like:

user_query = SELECT concat('/var/vmail/', maildir) AS home, ...

and in dovecot.conf set mail_location = maildir:~

"Logged out" means that the client had successfully logged in and then
used QUIT command to log out.
