no, no!!!

/mail is the folder (partition) where everyone's email folder is.

/mail/jo@domain.com /mail/jo@domain.com/cur /mail/jo@domain.com/new /mail/fra@domain.com /mail/fra@domain.com/cur /mail/fra@domain.com/new

I am not trying to set every login account's home directory to /mail

the mail directory is owned by root. the jo@domain.com folder is owned by user id : 1154 which is the userid specified in the mysql database.

Everything works perfectly with my current postfix/mysql/courier-imap configuration. I am trying to add maildrop. Do I have the maildir and home values backwards?

$HOME = home directory to search for .mailfilter file, must be owned by Unix UID of the account to deliver...

$MAILDIR = Mailbox/Maildir to deliver to, relative to $HOME (unless it's an absolute path).

With Postfix virtual mailbox domains, there is no $HOME--you can only set it to a fixed path that contains all of your virtual mailboxes. With Maildrop, you can set it individually for all virtual user accounts--but whatever it's set to must be owned by the delivery UID.
