In you user definition (userdb, sql, whatever), are you specifying the location of the user's mailbox?

Of course.. Maildrop reads the Maildir from there as I have specified the user definitions in authmysqlrc, I think..

If you do that, it will override defaultdelivery and deliver directly to the specified mailbox. If you want to use maildrop, you have to leave off the mailbox specification and only specify a home directory for the user.

Please tell me what do you mean in pratical terms..

If you specify a user's maildir explicitly in the user record, Courier will deliver mail directly to that maildir and ignore your DEFAULTDELIVERY settings.

Im using Postfix.. and so this is not the correct way.

No, the correct way is to specify the home directory and let Courier default to $HOME/Maildir. I am just mentioning it because some people specify the MAIL option either because they think it is required or because they are trying to relocate the maildirs. Then they are surprised when they can't get maildrop to work. If you are not doing this, then don't worry about it.
