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!!

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

please increase logging, see mail_debug at
http://wiki2.dovecot.org/Logging
That will reveal, what mail location and inbox is used really.

/var/__log__/mail ??

That looks good. About home vs. mail location see
http://wiki2.dovecot.org/VirtualUsers/Home (applies to all users)
and http://wiki2.dovecot.org/MailLocation
>?It should be /var/mail/jsmith. ?If that is the problem, where or how do
Is /var/mail/jsmith a directory or a file?
If it is a directory, use something like:
mail_location = maildir:/var/mail/%n
- -or-
mail_location = maildir:/var/mail/%n/Maildir
depending on how the content of the directory looks like.
If it is a file, use
mail_location = maildir:~/Maildir:INBOX=/var/mail/%n

How does the userdb section of doveconf -n looks like?
