[Dovecot] Telnet access creates new maildir folders

[Seasoul]

Thanks Timo,
set the dovecot log as suggested, and this is what a telnet session gives me
now on dovecot.log:

ssl-params: Info: Generating SSL parameters
ssl-params: Info: SSL parameters regeneration completed
auth: Debug: Loading modules from directory: /usr/lib/dovecot/modules/auth

pop3(user1): Info: Disconnected: Logged out top=0/0, retr=0/0, del=0/0,

When I send an email, Postfix still stores the email in /var/mail/vmail/
user1 at domain.com , and Dovecot still looks for that email in
/var/mail/vmail/user1

Seriously, what am I not seeing here ? Feels like it's a very simple thing
I'm missing..
Could it be that for Postfix the "user" is the whole "user1 at domain.com"
while for Dovecot it's just "user1" ? Don't they both work on the same
variables ?
Could this be related to the fact that I have a system user called user1,
and I have to tell Dovecot to not look for that one but for user1 at domain/com
?
