Hi John,
I'm guessing your problem is:
> mail_location = maildir:/var/vmail/%u/Maildir
%u means 'username', and perhaps this serves you better:
%n: User part in user@domain, same as %u if there's no domain.
so:
mail_location = maildir:/var/vmail/%n/Maildir
I've had this same problem too

This is frustrating, because I had it working before... I could deliver
an email to a user user@domain, then connect to dovecot IMAP and see the
mail, no problem! Then I was told we had to use cyrus, and I was
dealing with it for a few weeks. Now we're back to dovecot, and the
last backup I had of that config has postfix delivering mail to
/var/vmail/username as I want and expect, but dovecot looks for and
creates /var/vmail/user@domain which I DON'T want
