This isn't correct. Unfortunately because of some optimizations the error message isn't better for LSUB .. Selecting the INBOX would have failed with: Error: mbox root directory can't be a file: /var/mail/tss/ (http://wiki.dovecot.org/MailLocation/Mbox) What you want is: location = mbox:<root directory>:INBOX=/var/mail/%u The <root directory> being something where either user can create mboxes, such as ~/Maildir/mboxes/ or alternatively some directory where user doesn't have any write access.
