OK, so now you don't have any authentication problem, but a maildir problem.

Probably you didn't create the correct structure, which according to the
above should look like

  /usr/local/mail/[EMAIL PROTECTED]
  /usr/local/mail/[EMAIL PROTECTED]/new
  /usr/local/mail/[EMAIL PROTECTED]/cur
  /usr/local/mail/[EMAIL PROTECTED]/tmp

with appropriate permissions (usually mode 0700, and in your case owner
5001). Easiest way to create a valid structure is using maildirmake, but be
careful because the way you've set up your database entries, there's no
"Maildir" subdirectory.

You can always su to this user then run maildrop from the command line,
under strace, to see what it's trying to do.

Alternatively, you could configure postfix to deliver directly to the
maildir; I believe postfix will create the structure itself.

HTH,

Brian.
