Thanks for that. I've done some investigating based on your comment.

The following line exists in
/home/vpopmail/domains/cybermedix.co.nz/vpasswd

<encryptedpw>:1:0:mail:/home/vpopmail/domains/cybermedix.co.nz/mail:5000
0000

That to me looks as though the home directory is set correctly.

Also, qmail and vpopmail are hapily accepting and delivering messages
for this account. Would that not also suggest the home directory is set
correctly?

Perhaps it's some kind of permissions thing? However:

drwx------   7 vpopmail vchkpw       4096 Jul 16 14:07 cybermedix.co.nz/
drwxr-----   6 vpopmail vchkpw       4096 Sep 13 23:39
cybermedix.co.nz/mail/Maildir/

And in /usr/lib/courier-imap/etc/imapd we have the line:

TCPDOPTS="-nodnslookup -noidentlookup -user=vpopmail -group=vchkpw"

So, as far as I can see, everything is correct. Though, surely, my
definition of "everything" in this instance is incomplete :(

Thanks for your help.

Bryan.

This indicates that even though the userid/passwd for this account is 
correct, it's home directory or maildir field is not set correctly.
