From virtual down the directory tree things are set owner:_vmail group:_postfix permission: 770
I am really at a loss as to where to go from here. I have rerun installs. Read tons of sites. I have spent hours and hours on this. What is causing the real problems is the lack of details in the mail log... 'Unable to open mailbox.' Not very informative.....
Nick, a few lines above that line in the logfile courier auth is retrieving the Maildir from the database. You hould se sometinh like a SQL statement. Does that correspond to what you are expecting ?
Just to make sure could you mail me your /usr/local/etc/authlib/authmysqlrc file, /usr/local/etc/imapd and impad-ssl files.

Having solved the last problem of not a failure to create a mailbox, I now have new error in the mail log:
to=<nick@xxxxxxxx>, relay=maildrop, delay=90883, delays=90872/0.32/0/10, dsn=4.3.0, status=deferred (temporary failure. Command output: /usr/local/bin/maildrop: Unable to open mailbox. )
As far as I can see I have followed the instructions on the site...
Details:
Mac Mini 10.5.3
Postfix-2.5.1
Maidrop-2.0.4
Mails should be delivered to:
/usr/local/virtual/xxxxx/nick
Now, should the next level down be:
/usr/local/virtual/mapped.at/nick/Maildir
/usr/local/virtual/mapped.at/nick/mail
/usr/local/virtual/mapped.at/nick/mailbox
And below that:
/usr/local/virtual/mapped.at/nick/??????/cur
/usr/local/virtual/mapped.at/nick/??????/new
/usr/local/virtual/mapped.at/nick/??????/tmp

Problem solved (I was being really, really thick....)
Mail box structure should be:
/usr/local/virtual/mapped.at/nick/cur
/usr/local/virtual/mapped.at/nick/new
/usr/local/virtual/mapped.at/nick/tmp
Obvious really!
