That access() check is done only if INBOX location isn't explicitly specified. Is this a problem only with deliver or also with imap? > mail_location: > mbox:~:INBOX=/var/mail/%u:INDEX=/var/mail/.dovecot-index/%1u/%u/ Looks OK. I just tried this: mail_location = mbox:~:INBOX=/var/mail/%u And deliver created the file to /var/mail/ just fine. > mail_debug: yes What does Dovecot show in logs when logging in / delivering the message?
