would you post the commands you use via telnet and the logs you get.
Here is my dovecot -n

I can successfully log into dovecot using telnet and open ssl from a remote
terminal, so authentication and everything is working fine.
From the above dovecot -n I asume that mails should be going to
/var/mail/virtual/domain/user/mail
However when I view this directory I can see a number of test mails that I
have sent using
echo "Hello me" | mail -s "Dovecot test" $USER
(see http://wiki2.dovecot.org/FindMailLocation)
Why am I not seeing them when I use telnet / openSSL to log in?
All help is greately appreciated.
