I have the accounts set up on the system and mail does get delivered to their ~/Maildir/ locations by Postfix, however, every time a message is dropped in the Maildir for the user, the permissions for the message are set to the user’s uid:gid and Dovecot can’t access the mail message. Doing a chmod fixes it temporarily until the next message drops.  The vmail group has access to the user’s home folder structure.
