Thanks all. This is solved now.
The problem was that I created a directory "maildir" meanwhile the system
was looking for "Maildir". The difference was the upper case letters.
These things look small but they are important.

Thanks
Alexander

That seems pretty obvious.  Either the maildir doesn't exist, or the
user doesn't have permission to read it.

Run "authtest manager".  If there is a Maildir entry, take a look at the
permissions for that folder.  If there is no Maildir entry, look at the
"Maildir" folder in the home directory.  The authtest will also show you
the effective UID and GID for the login.  This user must have read/write
permissions for the maildir.
