Hello I have accounts with Maildir (mail_location is empty/default) and
postfix using lmtp for delivery. Some account create new file in
Maildir/new after each deliver. However a couple account I see lmtp
successful delivery but no new file anywhere in the Maildir:

lmtp(21379): Connect from local
lmtp(me)<21379><Mbc+GgTmrofPHw4vAMIs8i>: msgid=<...trimmed...>: saved
mail to INBOX

<m...@example.com> Mbc+GgTmrofPHw4vAMIs8i Saved)
lmtp(21379): Disconnect from local: Logged out (state=READY)

/home/me/Maildir/new is empty and also try "find /home/me/Maildir -type
f | wc -l" but no different before/after

Very interesting I can see trace of message in dovecot cache! "grep -r
'domain.from.message.id' /home/" (search all accounts) says:

grep: /home/me/Maildir/dovecot.index.cache: binary file matches

So dovecot put traces of message into Maildir but no message file after
successful "Saved" in logs.

What can I do?

Can you post doveconf -n? Also you can enable mail_debug=yes logs to see more details.

Thank you for reply. I had monitored and now some messages are stored correct in the problem accounts, but not sure if delivery count matche file count. Could a connected/idle IMAP client pull messages from server (delete server copy) without notification in log file and leaving message traces in the dovecot cache file? (is that possible explanation?) Postconf is mostly defaults from package install. Ill turn debug yes if i can verify the problem still happening.
