We're an mbox environment, inboxes in /var/mail/$USER (I'll include

I'd assumed that if the /var/mail/$USER file doesn't exist, dovecot
would create it, but we've discovered from experience (and I verified it
in mbox-storage.c) that if access(path, R_OK|W_OK) fails--as it does if
the file doesn't exist--that dovecot defaults then to delivering in
root_dir/inbox.
That access() check is done only if INBOX location isn't explicitly
specified.
Is this a problem only with deliver or also with imap?
Deliver only. On further review, I discovered where the problem lies
locally, it was not a Dovecot issue. Sorry to bother. :) Thanks for your
help,
