For the home and mail directories I use the same entries "/home/mailboxes/mydomain.xx/user. In each user's account I ran "maildirmake Maildir" and changed the ownership of the entire mailbox/* tree to daemon:daemon

I think this might be your problem. If you set "mail" and "home" to be "/home/mailboxes/mydomain.xx/user" then courier expects the "user" directory to be a maildir where it can deliver mail. But it's not a maildir. The maildir you created is called Maildir and is inside the HOME directory. Either change the "mail" attribute to be "/home/mailboxes/mydomain.xx/user/Maildir" or remove it completely if you are using maildrop. Then rerun makeuserdb and see if it works.

FYI, the "mail" attribute over-rides other delivery instructions so it will over-ride any maildrop filtering that you try and do. So if you are using maildrop then remove the "mail" attribute and just leave the "home" as it was. You also might want to make sure that the file "maildirfilterconfig" exits in the courier 'etc' directory and has

MAILDIRFILTER=../.mailfilter MAILDIR=./Maildir

in it. These might be the default values and so you don't need them but it doesn't hurt. This will make sure that maildrop knows that the maildir is called "Maildir" and is in the HOME directory.
