The output for
ls -ld ~chris is drwx------ 2 chris chris 1024 Nov
18 20:15 /home/chris
ls -lR ~chris/Maildir -rw------- 1 chris chris 2357 Nov 19
21:22 /home/chris/Maildir
The above Maildir is not a directory, it is just a file!
I changed Mailbox to Maildir in /var/qmail/rc file so that it automatically
creates Maildir.
"qmail-start ./Maildir splogger qmail "
There is your problem: the above just creates a mailbox file called
Maildir. But you need to create maildir, and most people call it
Maildir.
So first of all, you need to change the above line to
"qmail-start ./Maildir/ splogger qmail "
But if you just want to try out maildir, you are better off doing only
echo ./Maildir/ > ~/.qmail
It is because most mailers do not know how to deal with maildir.
Second, you need to create the maildir by hand, such as
maildirmake ~/Maildir
and you have to do this as the user for whom the maildir is created.
It is perhaps really time for you to read some documentation, like
INSTALL.maildir.
