I've made another discovery that may help solve this issue: After a telnet to port 143 and logging in as [EMAIL PROTECTED] (only) "ps axw | grep imapd" yields this line:
14183 ? S 0:00 /usr/lib/courier-imap/bin/imapd Maildir I am wondering if this should not read something more like: /usr/lib/courier-imap/bin/imapd /home/vpopmail/domains/cybermedix.co.nz/mail/Maildir If I am right then it would appear that vchkpwd is somehow not communicating the full pathname to the user's Maildir repository. However, as per below, 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 Does this information help at all? Thanks very muchly once more.

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.
