Hi,
I switched from Courier to dovecot. And I followed the guide posted here: http://library.linode.com/email/postfix ... an-5-lenny

But I'm having trouble getting postfix + dovecot to work together.
I can connect fine but its not receiving new emails.
It seems like postfix receives the email fine but dovecot is looking in the wrong folder.

Postfix after receiving an email:

Dovecot's log:

I'm very suspicious about this:
Info: maildir: data=/home/vmail/adomain.com/adomain.com/test/

Why is dovecot using that maildir ? Shouldn't be looking in /home/vmail/adomain.com/test/ ? I can't see any setting with that path in dovecot.conf

Anyone have any ideas how to fix this?

Thank you, any help/pointers will be greatly appreciated.

Did you ever find a solution to this? Because I'm having a very similar issue where mail arrives but is never seen by dovecot; I believe it's looking in the wrong place for the users mail spool.
