Hi,

I get this error even when user logins succesfully:

Is that an error, a warning? I don't understand why dovecot tell me that
"No such file or directory" because really it does exist.

Dovecot configuration is as follows:

auth_debug = yes
auth_mechanisms = cram-md5 plain login
auth_verbose = yes
disable_plaintext_auth = no
first_valid_uid = 1000
mail_location = maildir:/home/vmail/%d/%n/Maildir
mbox_write_locks = fcntl
namespace inbox {
  inbox = yes
  location =
  mailbox Drafts {
    special_use = \Drafts
  }
  mailbox Junk {
    special_use = \Junk
  }
  mailbox Sent {
    special_use = \Sent
  }
  mailbox "Sent Messages" {
    special_use = \Sent
  }
  mailbox Trash {
    special_use = \Trash
  }
  prefix =
}
passdb {
  args = scheme=CRAM-MD5 username_format=%u /etc/dovecot/users
  driver = passwd-file
}
service auth {
  unix_listener /var/spool/postfix/private/auth {
    mode = 0666
  }
}
ssl_cert = </etc/pki/tls/certs/mailcert.pem
ssl_key = </etc/pki/tls/private/mailkey.pem
userdb {
  args = schme=CRAM-MD5 username_format=%u /etc/dovecot/users
  driver = passwd-file
}
userdb {
  args = uid=vmail gid=vmail home=/home/vmail/%u
  driver = static
}

EOF

Thanks in advance
