IMAP (Dovecot) & MySQL - Maildir path error


Hi all,

Basically managed to get everything going on my mailserver in my transition to virtual mail hosting; so exciting!! bar one feature - Dovecot seems to have problems finding the maildir of the user after login process.

I'm running Debian, Postfix, Dovecot with a couple of odd bits (roundcube and spamassasin etc)

Code:
debsrv:/etc/dovecot# tail -n1 /var/log/mail.err
Mar 22 20:27:02 localhost imap(ronald@rmacd.com): stat() failed with file /home/vmail/rmacd.com/ronald/new/new: No such file or directory
The problem is that the path should read /home/vmail/rmacd.com/ronald/new instead of /home/vmail/rmacd.com/ronald/new/new

essentially, I'm completely stumped, because I don't know which part of the process of logging in the user is assigning the wrong directory. It's nearly there, bar this annoying little error!

the essential line, default_mail_env, reads as follows:

default_mail_env = maildir:/home/vmail/%d/%n

any ideas where any other files may be located that are affecting this rewrite of the path?

regards.
