[Dovecot] postfix and dovecot - no emails in new folder

[Don Hill]

Yes. I am logged in as root and performing a ls -la /var/vmail/domain I 
see the following

folder - user - This file actually contains the emails sent to the account

folder - user at domain.tld - and in the Maildir folder I see the following
   cd into user at domain.tld/Maildir
   ls
   cur
   dovecot-uidlist
   dovecot-uidvalidity
   dovecot-uidvalidity.528f6c45
   dovecot.index.log
   new
   tmp


The cur/tmp and new folders are empty. I have tried multiple accounts 
with the same results.

If this can't be resolved then I will take your device and try another 
dovecot method
