Hello,

The information you have given is incomplete. Anyway, first check whether the user is having a mail directory (/home/xyz/Maildir). If yes,verify the permissions of the directory. To be on safer side just run the commands

cd /var/qmail/bin su xyz maildirmake /home/xyz/Maildir

This will create a maildir for user xyz with correct permissions.

regards, Sabu

Hey,

you have possibly not created the Maildir for mail delivery.

you can do so by,

------------------------------------------------------ su - username /var/qmail/bin/maildirmake Maildir exit ------------------------------------------------------ or

------------------------------------------------------ cd /etc/skel /var/qmail/bin/maildirmake Maildir ------------------------------------------------------

and this will create maildir directory by default for every system user you create.
