If you want a traditional mbox format then you should unset home_mailbox, and set: mail_spool_directory = /var/spool/mail Then restart postfix. If you send mail to your user you should see a file created if it doesn't exist called /var/spool/mail/username, readable by that user, and if you run cat on it you should see that it contains your email. -- Rich
