Hi, 1. Where is the MTA / MDA delivering the mail?
*postconf -n | grep mailbox* Do a live debug of the maillog and see where the mails are getting delivered *tail -f /var/log/mail * 2. What is the effective setting in Dovecot? *doveconf -n | grep mail_location* Kind regards, Bernard On 7 June 2017 at 18:04, Kyle Spencer <[email protected]> wrote: > Are you using MBOX or MAILDIR format? > > https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mbox > https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maildir > > On Wed, Jun 7, 2017 at 11:09 AM, Kisakye Alex <[email protected]> wrote: > > Could it be that in the client you need to auth as "user" as opposed to > > "user@domain"? > > > > Alex > > > > /dev/mobile > > > > On Jun 7, 2017 9:08 AM, "Peter C.
