dovecot - Jan 2016 - Dovecot with Maildir

Folks,
I'm trying to get dovecot to check a for mail in a maildir format on Ubuntu.
?
Mail is being delivered to and from the system. ?I can send and receive mail
using Pine & Mutt. ?But I cannot seem to get dovecot to work with the
maildir. ?So I can't check for mail using Dovecot.

This is what I'm using for reference:
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Dovecot

I believe (not sure actually) the answer is in the mail_location variable for
Dovecot. ?This is what I've tried so far:
#mail_location = mbox:~/mail:INBOX=/var/mail/%u#mail_location =
maildir:/var/mail/%u/Maildir#mail_location =
maildir:~/Maildir:INDEX=/var/mail/%umail_location = maildir:/var/mail/%u/Maildir
Mail is being delivered and I can send mail out with Postfix. ?But Dovecot not
working.
Any idea why?
Thanks in advance!

What does Dovecot log?
Where are your Maildir directories located?
What does doveadm user -u username
print?

Dovecot logs as follows:

The maildir on my instance is located in /var/log/mail.
 The output of doveadm is as follows:
root at speedy:/var/mail# doveadm user -u jsmithuserdb: jsmith?
system_groups_user: jsmith? uid ? ? ? : 1000? gid ? ? ? : 1000? home ? ? ?:
/home/jsmith
If that home variable is suppose to be the maildir folder it is wrong. ?It
should be /var/mail/jsmith. ?If that is the problem, where or how do I change
it.
Thanks in advance!!
