I am not using a Imap server yet. This simply occurs with Postfix
running on Debian and nothing more. If I send email to my Postfix
server from the Internet, the message flows through Postfix fine and
gets delivered to Maildir according to the logs. If I login to my
Postfix email server and user the mutt -f /home/$user/Maildir command,
I can read the message fine and no mbox file is created in my home
directory. Now if I login to the Postfix server and rather than using
mutt to read my email, if I use the "mail" command to show new
messages, then a mbox file is created.
I don't understand this however it may not be Postfix doing this...I don't know.
The "mail" command is not part of postfix.
AFAIK the "mail" command can only read mbox files, and cannot
read mail from a maildir. I wouldn't be surprised if running
"mail" creates an mbox file if one doesn't exist.
Don't use "mail" if you want to use maildir. Use mutt or
another program designed for maildir.
