Dovecot with Maildir

[John Williams]

Dovecot logs as follows:
Feb  1 19:36:34 speedy dovecot: imap-login: Login: user=<rsmith>, method=PLAIN, rip=10.163.195.83, lip=10.163.195.82, mpid=7481, session=<EbuSsb4qPQCto8NT>Feb  1 19:36:37 speedy dovecot: imap-login: Login: user=<rsmith>, method=PLAIN, rip=10.163.195.83, lip=10.163.195.82, mpid=7483, session=<qfSzsb4qQQCto8NT>Feb  1 19:36:37 speedy dovecot: imap(rsmith): Disconnected: Logged out in=95 out=440Feb  1 19:37:24 speedy dovecot: imap(rsmith): Connection closed in=275 out=995Feb  1 19:37:27 speedy dovecot: imap-login: Login: user=<rsmith>, method=PLAIN, rip=10.163.195.83, lip=10.163.195.82, mpid=7485, session=<NAm1tL4qRQCto8NT>Feb  1 19:37:28 speedy dovecot: imap(rsmith): Disconnected: Logged out in=298 out=1130Feb  1 19:37:28 speedy dovecot: imap-login: Login: user=<rsmith>, method=PLAIN, rip=10.163.195.83, lip=10.163.195.82, mpid=7487, session=<GKPJtL4qSACto8NT>Feb  1 19:37:30 speedy dovecot: imap-login: Login: user=<rsmith>, method=PLAIN, rip=10.163.195.83, lip=10.163.195.82, mpid=7489, session=<5h3qtL4qTACto8NT>Feb  1 19:37:31 speedy dovecot: imap(rsmith): Disconnected: Logged out in=95 out=440
The maildir on my instance is located in /var/log/mail.
 The output of doveadm is as follows:
root at speedy:/var/mail# doveadm user -u jsmithuserdb: jsmith  system_groups_user: jsmith  uid       : 1000  gid       : 1000  home      : /home/jsmith
If that home variable is suppose to be the maildir folder it is wrong.  It should be /var/mail/jsmith.  If that is the problem, where or how do I change it.
Thanks in advance!!

What does Dovecot log?Where are your Maildir directories located?
What does doveadm user -u username
print?
